Kehityksestämme

Kehityksestämme is a Finnish phrase meaning “from our development” or “of our development.” It is formed by taking the root kehitys (development), applying the elative case ending -stä to express movement from or focus on development, and adding the possessive suffix -mme to indicate “our.” The result, kehityksestämme, literally conveys authorship and perspective over a development process and is used to refer to the development work of a group, organization, or project.

In practice, kehityksestämme is used when a group analyzes progress, outcomes, or lessons learned during a development process. It commonly appears in corporate reports, project retrospectives, and research summaries as a way to frame findings as part of “our” development journey. The phrase can introduce a clause or be part of a larger noun phrase, for example: “Kehityksestämme voidaan päätellä…” meaning “From our development, we can conclude…”

Linguistic notes: Finnish forms such phrases by combining a case ending with possessive suffixes, which can produce long words. The exact translation depends on sentence structure and context, but the core meaning remains the same: it relates to what a group has developed. Because it is not a fixed technical term, its precise sense is best understood from its usage within sentences.
