Monipisteistä

Monipisteistä is a Finnish expression that literally means “from multiple points.” It is formed from the words moni (many), piste (point), and the ablative plural suffix -istä, which indicates source or origin. The phrase is primarily used in technical and scientific Finnish to describe data, analyses, or approaches that rely on several separate locations, samples, or reference points rather than a single source.

In grammar and usage the form monipisteistä is the ablative plural form, typically connected to a noun in context, such as data, observations, or measurements. Because it is a descriptive phrase rather than a fixed technical term, its exact meaning depends on the surrounding discourse. It commonly appears in fields where spatial, temporal, or source diversity is important, such as geography, sensor networks, statistics, or materials testing.

Common contexts include references to data sets collected at multiple sites, multi-location experiments, or analyses that integrate information from several references. For example, a study might emphasize monipisteistä data to highlight that findings are derived from several locations rather than a single point of reference. The concept underscored by monipisteistä is the inclusion of multiple sources to increase robustness, representativeness, or coverage.

Due to its linguistic nature, monipisteistä is mainly found in Finnish writing and speech within technical or academic contexts. It functions as a descriptor rather than a standalone concept with a fixed definition, and its interpretation is guided by the field and the specifics of the discussion.
