merkittävältä

Merkittävältä is a Finnish word that translates to "significant," "considerable," or "noteworthy" in English. It is an adjective, typically used to describe something that has importance, impact, or a noticeable effect. The word can be used in various contexts to emphasize the magnitude or consequence of a particular subject.

For instance, one might say that a discovery was "merkittävältä" if it had a profound impact on a field of study or society. Similarly, a change in policy could be described as "merkittävältä" if it led to substantial alterations in how things are done. The word implies that the item or event being described is not trivial or minor, but rather possesses a certain weight or prominence.

The grammatical form "merkitsevältä" is the ablative case of the adjective "merkittävä." This case often indicates separation, origin, or the cause from which something is perceived or derives its quality. Therefore, "merkitsevältä" might be used in phrases like "tunnistaa merkittävältä vaikutukselta" (to recognize from a significant impact) or "erottua merkittävältä osalta" (to stand out from a significant part). The core meaning, however, remains tied to the concept of significance.
