konkreettisista

Konkreettisista is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective konkreettinen, which means tangible or concrete. The core sense is things that can be perceived with the senses, observed directly, or understood without abstract reasoning. In Finnish usage, konkreettinen contrasts with abstrakti, which describes ideas or concepts lacking direct sensory evidence. Konkreettisista commonly refers to tangible matters, practical examples, or observable phenomena when expressed in plural context.

In daily language, konkreettisista is most often encountered as an inflected form used after verbs or prepositions. For example, konkreettisista esimerkeistä means from concrete examples, konkreettisista asioista means about tangible matters, and konkreettisista keinoista can refer to tangible methods. The related expressions include konkreettiset esimerkit (concrete examples), konkreettiset tavoitteet (concrete goals), and tehdä jotakin konkreettisesti (to do something in a concrete, practical way). The term is common in education, research, and communication to emphasize clarity, practicality, and observability.

Etymology traces konkreettinen to the concept of concreteness, with roots in Latin concretus and its transmission into Finnish through Scandinavian or European linguistic channels. The word travels into Finnish discourse as a standard descriptor for physical, observable, or easily verifiable phenomena, and it forms part of a broader vocabulary that contrasts concrete understanding with abstract theory.
