Yhteenvetossa

Yhteenvetossa is a Finnish inessive form of the noun yhteenveto, meaning “in the summary.” It is used in formal Finnish to indicate that a statement refers to the summary or abstract portion of a text, such as a report, study, or article. The expression helps readers locate the concise statements of main points, findings, or conclusions within a document.

In practice, yhteenvetossa is employed to frame information that appears in the summary section. It signals that the following or preceding content reflects a condensed recap rather than the full discussion. It is common in academic writing, official reports, and journalistic summaries, and it should not be confused with statements about the entire document; rather, it points to what is contained in the summary.

Usage tends to emphasize brevity and clarity. Writers may use it to introduce key results or to highlight the most important takeaways that a reader would find summarized at the end of a document. It is often paired with verbs like todetaan, esitetään, or mainitaan to present what the summary states.

Examples:

- Yhteenvetossa todetaan, että projektin tavoitteet saavutettiin.

- Yhteenvetossa mainitaan tutkimuksen rajoitukset.

- Yhteenvetossa voidaan nostaa esiin tärkeimmät johtopäätökset.
