Oikaisusta

Oikaisusta is a grammatical form of the Finnish noun oikaisu, meaning correction, rectification, or adjustment. Oikaisu is derived from the verb oikaista, which means to straighten, correct, or set right. The form oikaisusta is the elative singular ending -sta/-stä for the noun oikaisu, and it typically conveys meanings related to origin, source, or topic in connection with the correction.

Because Finnish uses cases to express relationships, oikaisusta appears in contexts where the speaker refers to something that is derived from, or about, the correction. In formal and administrative language, it can occur in phrases describing aspects related to correction processes, such as corrections to information, procedures, or decisions.

The word is not usually listed as a separate headword in dictionaries; it functions as an inflected form within larger phrases. Its meaning is determined by the surrounding context and the case function, rather than by a standalone sense that differs from oikaisu.

Related terms include oikaisu (the base concept of correction), oikaisuvaatimus (a formal request for correction), and oikaista (to correct). The broader concept covers rectifying errors in documents, data, statements, or procedures, as well as adjustments made to comply with rules or standards.

Etymology: oikaisusta derives from the verb oikaista, with oikaisu as the corresponding noun. The elative form oikaisusta signals origin or basis in relation to the correction, while the genitive form is oikaisun.
