ilmenevästi

Ilmenevästi is a Finnish adverb that means “in an evident or clearly demonstrable way.” It is formed from the adjective ilmenevä (apparent, evident) with the adverbial suffix -sti, and it is related to the verb ilmetä (to become evident).

Usage and context

Ilmenevästi is typically used in formal or analytic Finnish, such as scientific reporting, critical analysis, or argumentation, to indicate that a claim follows clearly from evidence or data. It emphasizes demonstrable clarity rather than mere appearance or guesswork.

Examples

Tutkimuksen tulokset ilmenevästi osoittavat, että hoito on tehokas. Data ilmenevästi viittaa siihen, että eräät tekijät vaikuttavat tuloksiin. Ilmenevästi voidaan päätellä, että tehostaminen parantaa kattavuutta.

Nuances and register

Ilmenevästi conveys a stronger sense of evidential clarity than synonyms like selvästi or ilmeisesti. It signals that the conclusion is borne out by evidence or observable results, not only by interpretation. Because of its formal tone, the adverb is most common in written, scholarly, or policy-oriented Finnish and appears less in casual everyday speech.

Related forms

The related adjective ilmenevä describes something that is evident or apparent, while the verb ilmetä means to become evident or to emerge. The term sits among other Finnish evaluative adverbs such as selvästi and ilmeisesti, used to express degree of certainty or visibility.
