entiteettistä

Entiteetti is a Finnish noun borrowed from English "entity," used to denote an identifiable object or concept with its own identity in fields such as philosophy, information technology, data modeling, and business. The elative singular form entiteetistä means “from the entity” and is the standard way to express origin or source in Finnish. A often-cited but nonstandard variant is entiteettistä, which may appear as a misspelling or alternative spelling; the normative form in Finnish texts is entiteetistä.

Morphology in brief: the root word is entiteetti. Common inflections include genitive entiteetin, partitive entiteettiä, and plural forms entiteetit with corresponding partitive entiteettejä and elative entiteetistä/entiteeteistä in singular and plural, respectively. The elative suffix -stä/-stä attaches to the stem to indicate origin.

Usage and meaning: entiteetti is used to refer to an individual object or concept within a system, model, or discourse. In information technology and data modeling, it describes an element that can be identified and related to other elements. The elative entiteetistä is used to indicate something originating from or related to a particular entity, for example in discussions of data provenance, ontologies, or system architecture.

Examples (Finnish): Tiedon alkuperä on entiteetistä, joka vastaa asiakkaan tuotetta. Ontologiassa entiteetistä määritellään sen ominaisuudet ja suhteet toisiin entiteetteihin. Tapahtumat voidaan yhdistää entiteettiin X, jolloin data voidaan jäljittää entiteetistä X.
