Arvioista

Arvioista is a Finnish noun form meaning “from the assessments” or “about the assessments,” depending on the context. It is the elative plural form of arvio, which broadly covers meanings such as assessment, estimate, and opinion. In use, arvioista indicates source or topic when referring to multiple evaluations or estimates, often after verbs or prepositions that govern the elative case, for example keskustella arvioista (to discuss the assessments).

Morphology and usage

The base word arvio carries several related senses: an assessment or estimation, an opinion, or a judgment. The elative plural form arvioista is created by adding the suffix -ista to the singular stem arvio. This form contrasts with other plural inflections such as arviot (nominative plural) and arvioiden (genitive plural). In sentences, arvioista typically marks the source of information or the subject of discussion.

Contexts and examples

Arvioista commonly appears in journalism, academia, and everyday language when discussing results, sources, or topics derived from assessments. Examples:

- Keskustelimme arvioista viime viikon kokouksessa. (We discussed the assessments in last week’s meeting.)

- Arvioista saamamme tiedot osoittavat, että lisäselvitykseen on tarvetta. (The information we obtained from the assessments indicates a need for further clarification.)

Notes

Arvioista conveys a sense of origin or topic related to evaluations, and its precise nuance depends on the surrounding verbs and prepositions. It is a standard form in Finnish grammar for talking about multiple evaluations or estimates.
