Arvion

Arvion is the genitive singular form of the Finnish noun arvio, which means estimate, assessment, or appraisal. As a genitive form, arvion is used in phrases that relate something to the estimate or to indicate information drawn from an estimation.

In practical use, arvion appears most often in fixed expressions such as arvion mukaan (according to the estimate), arvion perusteella (based on the estimate), and arvion tulos (the result of the estimate). It also functions to modify other nouns in contexts like “arvion mukaan liikevaihto kasvaa” (according to the estimate, revenue is rising) or “arvion perusteella tehdään päätös” (a decision is made based on the estimate).

The word is common in formal writing, including business reports, economic analyses, and news reporting, where estimates and projections are routinely cited. Because arvion is a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept in English, it does not have a direct one-to-one translation; its function is to anchor statements to a referenced estimate or assessment.
