Ylittävistä

Ylittävistä is a Finnish inflected form of the present active participle ylittävä, derived from the verb ylittää, meaning to exceed or surpass. In Finnish, participles can function as adjectives and attach to nouns in various cases to form descriptive phrases. The form ylittävistä specifically appears as an elative plural ending, commonly used to indicate the source or basis of something that exceeds a given standard.

In practice, ylittävistä is most often seen in technical, statistical, or formal texts where thresholds, limits, or comparative values are discussed. As an attributive modifier, the participle describes features that exceed a reference point. For example, ylittävistä arvoista or ylittävistä rajoituksista would translate roughly to “from exceeding values” or “from exceeding restrictions,” depending on the surrounding grammar and noun. The same stem can produce other plural forms (such as ylittäviä) when the phrase is in a different case or usage, but ylittävistä specifically marks elative plural with a source or basis sense.

Usage notes:

- Ylittävä and its inflected forms are most common in formal Finnish domains, including science, engineering, and policy discussions.

- Like other Finnish participles used as adjectives, ylittävä/ylittävistä agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case.

- The core meaning remains centered on surpassing, exceeding, or going beyond a particular threshold or standard.
