Tuloksista

Tuloksista is a Finnish word that serves as the elative plural form of tulos, meaning "from the results" or "of the results." It is commonly used in scientific, statistical, and analytical writing to indicate the source, basis, or evidence for a statement, conclusion, or interpretation.

Grammatically, tuloksista is formed from the plural stem tulokset with the elative plural suffix -ista/-istä. The singular elative is tuloksesta, and the genitive plural is tulosten. The word is typically used with verbs of stating or deducing; it answers questions like where did this come from or what are the basis.

Examples: "Tuloksista voidaan päätellä, että testi on luotettava." "Tuloksista näkyy, että trendi on kasvussa."

Note: Tuloksista is not equivalent to "tulosten" (genitive plural). "Tulosten" denotes possession or association, whereas "tuloksista" indicates origin or basis.

Usage tips: In Finnish, the elative plural is often used with nouns in the results section of reports and in discussions that relate conclusions to data. It is common in academic Finnish, government reports, and media analyses.
