antropologisista

Antropologisista is a Finnish adjective form derived from antropologinen, meaning anthropological or related to anthropology. It is the elative plural form used before a plural noun to indicate a source or perspective from anthropology. It is not a standalone noun.

In Finnish grammar, adjectives must agree with the noun in number and case. The elative plural suffix for adjectives of the -inen class is -ista (or -istä, depending on vowel harmony), so anthropological becomes antropologisista when used with plural nouns in the elative. This form commonly appears in phrases that express origin, standpoint, or basis in anthropology.

Common collocations include: antro­pologisista näkökulmista (from anthropological perspectives), antropologisista tutkimuksista (from anthropological studies), and antropologisista aineistoista (from anthropological materials). These phrases are typical in academic writing within social sciences and humanities.

Usage notes: Antropologisista functions to emphasize that the referenced perspectives, data, or methods originate in or are shaped by anthropology. The corresponding singular and plural nominative forms are antropologinen (singular) and antropologiset (plural), while the form antropologisista appears in contexts where the modifying noun is plural and in a case that conveys source or standpoint. The term is most common in scholarly Finnish discourse and is less likely to appear in everyday language.
