Biologisesti

Biologisesti is a Finnish adverb meaning in a biological way or from a biological perspective. It is formed from the adjective biologinen (biological) by adding the adverbial suffix -isesti. The word is used to indicate that something relates to biology, biological processes, or a biological point of view.

In practice, biologisesti is common in scientific writing, journalism, and everyday language when a statement or assessment is tied to biology rather than other domains such as chemistry or physics. A typical usage is the fixed expression biologisesti katsottuna, meaning biologically speaking. Examples include statements about the nature of organisms, biological processes, or ecological considerations. For instance, biologisesti katsottuna bakteerit are unicellular, or biologisesti hajoava materiaali refers to material that degrades through biological action.

Biologisesti contrasts with adjectival forms that describe a property (biologinen) rather than a manner of evaluation. While biologinen describes something as biological in quality, biologisesti describes the basis or framework of analysis, such as a claim made from a biological standpoint. The form is part of Finnish adverbial morphology where many adjectives can be turned into adverbs with -isesti, a common pattern in scientific and academic language.

Overall, biologisesti is a standard, neutral term used to situate statements within biology, to frame discussions about biological processes, and to signal a biological basis for conclusions.
