Kokonaisluvusta

Kokonaisluvusta is the elative singular form of the Finnish noun kokonaisluku, which means an integer. In Finnish mathematics, kokonaisluku refers to a whole number without a fractional part, such as -3, 0, 7, and so on. The term is used to discuss integers in arithmetic, number theory, and related subjects, and forms part of standard mathematical vocabulary in Finnish.

The word kokonaisluku is a compound consisting of kokonais- (whole, complete) and luku (number). The concept covers the set of all integers, often denoted in notation by Z in mathematical contexts. The form kokonaisluvusta renders “from the integer” or “of the integer” in contexts that express origin or relation to a particular integer.

Kokonaisluvusta is one example of Finnish case inflection applied to a compound noun. The elative suffix -sta/-stä signals origin or movement from, so kokonaisluvusta corresponds to “from the integer.” This form appears in formal Finnish mathematical prose and linguistic descriptions of mathematical language.

Related forms include the base kokonaisluku (nominative singular) and other inflected forms of the same noun, such as kokonaisluvun (genitive) and kokonaislukua (partitive). Together, these forms illustrate how Finnish nouns decline in relation to case and number within technical discourse.
