Käytetyimmistä

Käytetyimmistä is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “from the most used” or “of the most used,” and is the elative plural form of the superlative adjective käytetyimmät (the most used). It is used to describe nouns in a way that refers to the subset consisting of the most frequently used items. The word is formed from the past participle käytetty (used) of the verb käyttää (to use) and the Finnish superlative suffix, with the plural and case endings that produce the elative plural form -istä (käytetyimmistä).

In practice, käytetyimmistä is most common in linguistic, statistical, or descriptive contexts where-frequency rankings are discussed. It functions as an adjective in agreement with a plural noun in the elative case, such as sanoista (from the words) or sanoista: käytetyimmistä sanoista meaning “from the most used words.” The phrase often appears in corpora analyses, word-frequency lists, or dictionaries that summarize usage patterns.

Examples:

- Käytetyimmistä sanoista koostuva lista näyttää yleisimmät sanat. (A list composed from the most used words shows the most common words.)

- Tutkimus tarkastelee käytetyimmistä sanamuodoista tehtyjä johtopäätöksiä. (The study draws conclusions from the most frequently used word forms.)
