Laskelmista

Laskelmista is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun laskelma, meaning "calculation" or "estimate." It is used to indicate the source or basis of a statement, and can be translated roughly as "from the calculations" or "on the basis of the calculations." The form is common in formal, technical, and scholarly Finnish.

Laskelma can denote a calculation, an estimate, or an invoice. Laskelmista refers to several such calculations or to the information derived from them, rather than to the calculations themselves as discrete items.

Typical constructions include "Laskelmista voidaan todeta..." ("From the calculations it can be determined...") and "Laskelmista käy ilmi..." ("The calculations show...").

Usage involves budgeting, financial reporting, risk assessment, engineering, and research reporting, where conclusions are to be supported by computational results.

Etymology and grammar: laskelma + elatiivinen monikko (-sta/-stä). The term is not a standalone field but a grammatical form used in Finnish writing to indicate source or basis for a claim.
