Endogeenisista

Endogeenisista is the elative plural form of the Finnish adjective endogeeninen, meaning endogenous or originating from within. It is used in scientific and academic Finnish to describe sources, factors, or processes that arise inside a system, in contrast to exogeeniset or exogenous factors.

In usage, endogeenisista tekijöistä means “from endogenous factors” and endogeenisista syistä means “for endogenous reasons.” The elative case marks origin or source and is common in research writing when attributing effects to internal causes.

The expression appears across disciplines. In biology and medicine, it can refer to endogenous metabolic pathways or hormonal regulation. In psychology and neuroscience, endogenous processes include internal rhythms or states that influence behavior. In geology, endogenic or endogenetic processes describe internal Earth activity such as tectonics and magmatic flow, as opposed to exogenic surface processes like erosion. In economics and social sciences, endogenous factors or models describe outcomes influenced by internal dynamics of the system, such as knowledge spillovers or feedback mechanisms.

The form is a grammatical construction rather than a distinct technical term; its precise meaning depends on the noun it modifies. It is part of standard Finnish scientific language and is commonly encountered in formal texts.
