ilmenevistä

ilmenevistä is the elative plural form of the Finnish adjective ilmenevä, meaning evident or apparent. It appears in phrases where the noun it describes is in the elative case, typically conveying “from the apparent X” or “of the apparent X.” The form is common in scientific, analytical, and descriptive Finnish when discussing observable aspects that emerge or become evident under certain conditions, for example ilmenevistä piirteistä (from the apparent features) or ilmenevistä ilmiöistä (from the apparent phenomena).

Grammatically, ilmenevä belongs to the class of -evä adjectives. Like other Finnish adjectives, its forms change to match the case and number of the noun it modifies. The elative plural ending -istä yields ilmenevistä in contexts where the referent is plural and in the elative case. It should be distinguished from ilmenevät (nominative plural) and from ilmenevää (partitive singular).

Usage notes: ilmenevä emphasizes emergence or manifestation in a process, rather than mere immediate clarity. It often conveys that something has become evident through inquiry, observation, or a sequence of events, and thus carries a slightly more dynamic nuance than ilmeinen, which can mean simply “obvious.”
