Statistisissa

Statistisissa is a Finnish adjective form meaning statistical or in a statistical sense. It is the inessive plural form of the adjective statistinen, used to modify a plural noun in the inessive case. In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun in number and case, so statistinen yields forms such as statisteiset in the nominative plural and statistisissa in the inessive plural.

Usage and nuance

Statistisissa is typically found in formal or academic language when referring to material, data, or conclusions that come from statistics. It commonly accompanies nouns in the inessive plural, such as tutkimuksissa (in studies), tilastoissa (in statistics), or tietoaineistoissa (in data sets). The term is often used to describe methods, results, or contexts that pertain to statistical analysis or data-based reasoning.

Relation to other terms

Finnish distinguishes between tilastollinen and statistinen. Tilastollinen is the standard term for statistical in a methodological or data-analysis sense, while statistinen is broader and can appear in various statistical contexts. Statistisissa as a form of statistinen aligns with this broader usage, especially in phrases that emphasize the statistical nature of the material rather than a specific methodological concept.

Examples
