Laskemisella

Laskemisella is the adessive form of the Finnish noun laskeminen, meaning calculation, counting, or arithmetic. In Finnish, the adessive case with -lla is used to indicate the means, method, or manner by which something is done, so laskemisella translates roughly as “by calculation” or “with calculation.” In written Finnish, laskemisella often introduces the method or basis for conclusions, analyses, or estimates.

Laskeminen derives from laskem- (to count, to calculate) and the suffix -inen forming a noun; the -lla ending marks instrumentality. The phrase is common in formal or technical Finnish, for example in phrases like “Tämä lopputulos saatiin laskemisella” or more neutrally, “Laskemisella voidaan osoittaa …” It is used in contexts such as budgeting, risk assessment, statistics, engineering, and research, where conclusions are based on numerical calculation rather than sole measurement.

Examples of usage include: “Laskemisella voidaan arvioida projektin kustannukset,” and “Tutkimus tehtiin laskemisella ja kokeellisilla mittauksilla.” In these contexts laskemisella signals that the analysis relies on calculation as a method, sometimes in combination with other methods.

Laskemisella is not a separate discipline but a grammatical construction indicating the method of calculation. Related terms include laskeminen (calculation), laskenta (computation), arviointi (estimation), and mittaus (measurement).
