koeffisienteista

koeffisienteista is a Finnish noun form that denotes the plural elative case of koeffisientti, the word for coefficient. In academic Finnish, koeffisienteista roughly means “from the coefficients” or “of the coefficients” and is used when referring to coefficients as a group rather than individually. The form appears most often in mathematical, statistical, and physical texts.

Etymology and grammar: The base koeffisientti is a loanword from English coefficient, adapted to Finnish spelling and inflection. The elative plural koeffisienteista is one of several inflected forms that allow speakers to indicate source or composition with multiple coefficients (for example, in discussions about polynomials with several coefficients). The construction mirrors how other Finnish nouns in -nte or -ti stems are inflected in the elative plural.

Usage: In mathematics and statistics koeffisienteista is used when discussing properties that depend on several coefficients. For example, in Finnish one might say Polynomin koeffisienteista voidaan päätellä juuret, meaning “From the coefficients of the polynomial one can deduce the roots.” In applied sciences, the term can appear when referencing a set or range of model parameters collectively, rather than focusing on individual coefficient values. The phrase emphasizes the collective role or origin of multiple coefficients within an expression or model.
