Tulospuhelua

Tulospuhelua is a Finnish term used to describe a phone call in which a result is communicated or confirmed. The concept is descriptive rather than a formal technical term, and it appears in discussions of how results—such as sports scores, exam outcomes, lottery results, or other official determinations—are transmitted to individuals or audiences.

The word is a straightforward compound of tulos (result) and puhelu (phone call). The form tulospuhelua is the partitive singular of tulospuhelu, and it is found in Finnish sentences that discuss the act of reporting a result by phone. The term is not a fixed entry in all dictionaries, but it is easily understood by native speakers as a natural linguistic construction.

Usage and contexts for tulospuhelua have historically included scenarios where organizations announced results by telephone, particularly before digital channels were widespread. In sports reporting, betting, and gaming communities, it can describe the practice of notifying participants or audiences of outcomes by a phone call. Today the term is less common in everyday language but remains a clear descriptive label for this communication method in historical or evaluative discussions.

Variations and notes: there is no standardized technical definition or widespread dictionary entry for tulospuhelua, so it tends to appear in informal writing, journalism, or linguistic discussions about how results are communicated. It serves as a convenient shorthand for the act of delivering outcomes by telephone.
