analyyttisiä

Analyyttisiä is the partitive plural form of the Finnish adjective analyyttinen, meaning analytical or analytic. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun in number and case, so analyyttisiä appears when describing plural nouns in the partitive case (for example, analyyttisiä väitteitä or analyyttisiä menetelmiä). The corresponding nominative plural form is analyyttiset.

Usage and meaning: The term is common in academic and professional writing. It describes methods, arguments, evidence, or approaches that are based on systematic analysis, logic, and critical examination rather than intuition or anecdote. It can modify scientific, philosophical, or social-scientific material, as in “analyyttisiä menetelmiä” (analytical methods) or “analyyttisiä huomioita” (analytical observations).

Grammar notes: Analyyttinen forms follow standard Finnish adjective declension. Comparative form is analyyttisempi (more analytical) and the superlative analyyttisimmän (most analytical). Plural nominative is analyyttiset, while plural partitive remains analyyttisiä. This distinction is essential for correct syntax in sentences with different cases and nouns.

Etymology and related terms: The word derives from analyysi (analysis) with the Finnish suffix -nen to form an adjective. It is cognate with terms in other Finno-Ugric languages and reflects the common scientific vocabulary that imports concepts of analysis and systematic reasoning.

Examples:

- Tutkijat käyttivät analyyttisiä menetelmiä vastatakseen kysymyksiin.

- Hän esitti analyyttisiä huomioita tutkimustuloksista.

- Analyyttiset lähestymistavat ovat keskeisiä tässä projektissa.

Overall, analyyttisiä functions as a standard Finnish descriptor for plural, partitive contexts involving analytical characterization.
