Tilastointinsa

Tilastointinsa is a Finnish noun formed from tilastointi, meaning statistical work or statistics, with the third-person possessive suffix -nsa/-nsä. The resulting word translates roughly as “one’s own statistics” or “the statistics produced by someone.” It denotes ownership of the data or analysis and is used without repeating the possessor pronoun when the context makes it clear.

In use, tilastointinsa functions as a noun phrase referring to the data, analyses, or results that belong to a particular person or group. The form is common in journalistic and academic writing, where a writer may refer to someone’s data without repeating their name or pronoun. The exact morphological suffix adapts to Finnish vowel harmony and the general possessive word formation, but the meaning remains clear: it signals possession by a third-person singular or, by context, a third-person plural.

Examples include: “Tutkija esitteli tilastointinsa.” (The researcher presented his/her statistics.) “Hänen tilastointinsa osoitti korrelaation.” (Her/his statistics showed a correlation.) “Käyttäjä julkaisi tilastointinsa.” (The user published their statistics.) These constructions emphasize ownership of the statistical material rather than the act of statistical work itself.
