Verrannollisia

Verrannollisia is a Finnish adjective meaning analogous, proportional, or comparable. It is the plural partitive form of verrannollinen and is used to describe relationships or correspondences between two or more entities that are in a proportional or analogous relation. The word appears in scientific, mathematical, and general descriptive contexts to express that elements share a consistent ratio or a similar pattern.

In linguistic terms, verrannollinen describes a relation of similarity in proportion rather than identity. In mathematics and statistics, it is used to refer to proportional relationships where one quantity changes in step with another, such as when two variables maintain a constant ratio. In rhetoric or philosophy, verrannollinen can be used to discuss analogies or parallel structures between concepts or arguments.

Morphology and usage notes: verrannollisia is the plural partitive form, commonly appearing with plural nouns in partitive constructions, for example in phrases like verrannollisia suhteita or verrannollisia ilmiöitä. The base form verrannollinen appears in singular, while other inflected forms align with Finnish grammar rules for adjectives, modifying nouns in different cases and numbers.

Related terms include verrannollisuus, a noun that denotes proportionality or analogy, and verrannollisuus-ilmiöiden tutkiminen, where proportional or analogous relations are studied. The concept is used across disciplines to compare structures, patterns, or outcomes that share a consistent relational framework.
