mittaukselta

Mittaukselta is the elative singular form of the Finnish noun mittaus, meaning measurement. In Finnish grammar, the elative case expresses origin or starting point, so mittaukselta translates roughly as “from the measurement” or “out of the measurement.” The form is primarily used in technical, scientific, and statistical language to indicate that information, data, or conclusions come from a measurement.

Etymology and grammar: The word is formed by adding the elative suffix -elta to mittaus. This elative form signals the source of something, such as data, observations, or conclusions, that are based on a particular measurement. The pronunciation follows standard Finnish phonology, and the spelling reflects the combination of mittaus with the elative suffix.

Usage: Mittaukselta is commonly found in technical reporting, research papers, and data analyses where researchers want to attribute information to a specific measurement. Examples include statements about data sources or results derived from measured values. For instance, “Mittaukselta saadut tulokset osoittavat epävarmuuden” means “The results from the measurement indicate uncertainty.” Another example is “Mittaukselta peräisin oleva tieto vahvistaa mallin” meaning “The information derived from the measurement supports the model.”
