Analyysiin

Analyysiin is the illative singular form of the Finnish noun analyysi, meaning "into the analysis" or "to the analysis." It is used with verbs that express movement toward or focus on analysis, such as siirtyä analyysiin ("to move into the analysis") or keskittyä analyysiin ("to focus on the analysis"). In scholarly writing, analyysiin often marks the transition from methods or background to the analytical section.

The noun analyysi comes from Greek analysis (analusis), via Latin and French analyse, and was adopted into Finnish with typical Finnish inflection. The illative suffix -iin attaches to the stem analyysi to indicate direction toward the analysis. This form is common in formal and academic contexts where precision about the direction of discourse is important.

Usage notes: Analyysiin is primarily found in formal or academic Finnish. In everyday speech, speakers might refer more generally to "analyysi" or use other formulations such as "analyysissä" (in the analysis) or "analyysiin liittyen" (in relation to the analysis). The illative form allows clear expression of entering or concentrating on the analytical part of a discussion or text.

Examples:

- Raportin seuraavassa osiossa keskitytään analyysiin.

- Tutkimus etenee analyysiin, jossa tarkastellaan datan tilastollisia piirteitä.
