Tiivistätte

Tiivistätte is a Finnish term that translates to "abstract" or "summary" in English. It refers to a concise and condensed version of a larger text, such as an article, thesis, report, or book. The primary purpose of a tiivistätte is to provide readers with a quick overview of the main points, findings, and conclusions of the original work without requiring them to read the entire document.

Tiivistätteet are commonly found in academic and professional contexts. They allow researchers, students, and professionals to quickly assess the relevance and content of a publication. A well-written tiivistätte accurately reflects the core message of the source material and should include information about the topic, methodology (if applicable), key results, and main conclusions.

The length of a tiivistätte can vary depending on the context and the original document's length, but it is always significantly shorter than the full text. It aims to be self-contained, meaning it can be understood without referring to the original document, though it typically omits detailed explanations and supporting evidence. The creation of a tiivistätte requires careful reading and synthesis of the source material to identify and articulate the most crucial information.
