määrällisestä

määrällisestä is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective määrällinen, meaning quantitative or numerical. In Finnish grammar, adjectives inflect for case, number, and definiteness, and määrällisestä specifically expresses “from the quantitative aspect” or “about the quantitative side.” The form is commonly encountered in academic, scientific, and statistical writing to indicate perspective, source, or scope that is tied to quantity or measurement.

In use, määrällisestä is typically part of a larger phrase such as määrällisestä näkökulmasta (from a quantitative perspective) or määrällisestä datasta (from quantitative data). The elative case helps to specify origin or basis for a claim, method, or analysis without changing the base meaning of the adjective. Finnish researchers often contrast määrällinen (quantitative) with kvalitatiivinen or laadullinen (qualitative), and equivalents like kvantitatiivinen may appear in more formal or international contexts.

Relation to other forms: määrällinen is the base adjective; its other inflected forms include määrällisen (genitive), määrällistä (partitive), or määrällisellä (adessive), among others. The word is part of standard Finnish vocabulary and is widely understood in scientific and data-oriented discourse. While määrällisestä itself is a grammatical form, it underpins common technical expressions that differentiate quantitative analysis from qualitative approaches in research and reporting.
