Tarkasteluilla

Tarkasteluilla is the plural adessive form of tarkastelu, a Finnish noun meaning inspection, examination, review, or assessment. The term is used when referring to the act of examining in plural contexts or to multiple inspections carried out as part of a procedure. It often appears in discussions about quality control, regulatory compliance, research methods, or policy analysis, where several separate assessments are performed.

Formation and meaning: Tarkastelu derives from the verb tarkastella, “to inspect” or “to examine,” with the nominalizing suffix -lu- to form tarkastelu. The suffix -lla indicates the adessive case, and the plural ending -illa signals that the reference is to several inspections or examinations conducted together or in parallel. The singular counterpart is tarkastelulla, used when speaking of a single inspection method or event.

Usage: Tarkasteluilla are typically referenced as a set of inspections or as means of verification within a process. They can denote systematic checks in quality assurance, safety audits, methodological validation, or compliance reviews. Examples: Tarkasteluilla varmistettiin, että turvallisuusmääräykset täyttyivät. Useat tarkastelut osoittivat tutkimusmenetelmien luotettavuuden.

Relation to related terms: Tarkastelu is related to tarkastus (inspection or audit) and arviointi (assessment or evaluation). While tarkastelu emphasizes the process of examining and reviewing, tarkastus and auditointi often refer to formal, sometimes external checks, and arviointi focuses on overall evaluation of outcomes or performance.
