humoristista

Humoristista is the partitive singular form of the Finnish adjective humoristinen, meaning humorous or humoristic. The form is used when the noun it modifies appears in the partitive case, for example humoristista kieltä (humorous language) or humoristista sisältöä (humorous content). The base adjective humoristinen is used in nominative contexts to describe a thing more directly, as in humoristinen tarina or humoristinen tyyli. The term derives from the noun humoristi (humorist) with the -inen suffix that forms adjectives; the partitive ending -ista reflects Finnish grammar rather than a separate lexical item.

Usage notes: In Finnish writing, humoristista is common in reviews, essays, and media analysis to denote a humorous or light-hearted quality of content, tone, or style. It can describe language, performances, or design, for instance "humoristista kieltä" in a satirical article or "humoristista lähestymistapaa" in an analysis.

Related terms include humoristinen (adj., nominative), humoristi (noun, a humorist), and huumori (humor). In English, corresponding adjectives are humorous or humoristic.
