ennätysmäärä

Ennätysmäärä is a Finnish word that translates to "record number" or "record amount" in English. It is used to describe a quantity that surpasses all previous measurements or observations of the same kind. The term is often employed in contexts where achievements, statistics, or occurrences are being quantified and compared over time.

The concept of an ennätysmäärä implies a benchmark or a peak that has been reached or exceeded. This can apply to a wide range of subjects, from sports statistics, such as the number of goals scored in a season, to natural phenomena, like the highest recorded temperature in a region. In everyday language, it signifies an unusually large or high quantity that stands out from the norm.

For example, if a particular event attracts more attendees than ever before, one might say it achieved an ennätysmäärä of visitors. Similarly, if a company reports its highest ever profits, those profits could be described as an ennätysmäärä. The term emphasizes the superlative nature of the quantity, highlighting its exceptional status relative to past instances. It is a common term in news reporting and statistical analysis in Finland.
