Kokeista

Kokeista is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun koe, meaning a test or experiment. It is used to indicate origin or source from tests, and it appears mainly in scientific, research, and academic contexts to refer to information, data, or findings that come from experiments rather than theory.

In practice, kokeista is used when describing material derived from multiple experiments. For example, kokeista saadut tulokset refer to results obtained from the experiments, and kokeista peräisin oleva tieto means information that originates in the experiments. The phrase emphasizes that the subject’s source is empirical work. It is common in research reports, articles, and discussions where experimental evidence plays a central role. The form can also appear in phrases like riippuen kokeista (“depending on the experiments”).
