Mittausarvoin

Mittausarvoin is a Finnish grammatical form derived from mittausarvo, meaning a measurement value. The form would represent an instrumental or instructive plural ending and would be used to express “by/with measurement values” as the means or basis of an action.

In standard contemporary Finnish, mittausarvoin is not commonly used. The instrumental sense is typically conveyed with other constructions such as mittausarvoilla (“with the measurement values”) or by using phrases like käyttämällä mittausarvoja (“by using measurement values”). The form is therefore mainly encountered in historical texts, dialectal varieties, or in linguistic descriptions of Finnish grammar.

Usage notes: If mittausarvoin appears, it should be interpreted as an archaic or stylistic variant of instrumental meaning rather than a modern standard form.

Example: Esimerkki—mittausarvoin kerättyjen tietojen perusteella voidaan päätellä, että tulokset ovat tilastollisesti merkitseviä. This illustrates how the instrumental sense would be conveyed, though contemporary Finnish would more likely use mittausarvoilla or käyttämällä mittausarvoja.
