Osatunneittain

Osatunneittain is a Finnish adverb used to indicate that something is analyzed or described by its sub-senses or component parts. It is formed from osa ('part'), tunne ('sense' or 'feeling') and the suffix -ittain, which creates a manner-based adverb.

Usage of the term appears chiefly in scholarly Finnish, particularly in linguistics, cognitive science, psychology, or qualitative research, where researchers report results that are broken down by distinct aspects. It can accompany verbs such as analysoitiin or tarkastellaan to signal that the analysis treats separate facets in turn—for example linguistic versus perceptual or cognitive versus emotional components—and it emphasizes granularity rather than a holistic view.

Etymology and nuance: The word is a compound construction; its precise shade of meaning depends on context, and osatunneittain is not widely attested in everyday language. Some writers may prefer paraphrases such as 'osien mukaan' or 'osittain' to express a related idea.

Example: Vastaukset analysoitiin osatunneittain, erottamalla kielelliset, kognitiiviset ja emotionaaliset tekijät.
