näkökulmina

Näkökulmina is a Finnish expression formed from the noun näkökulma, meaning viewpoint or perspective. The form näkökulmina functions as the instrumental plural and is used to indicate that something is considered or presented as multiple perspectives rather than from a single angle. In practice, the term signals a deliberate inclusion of diverse stances or approaches in analysis, discussion, or reporting.

The term is commonly found in journalism, academic writing, policy discussions, and public discourse, where there is value in acknowledging different ways of seeing a topic. It emphasizes plurality and can accompany descriptions of how a subject is understood from economic, social, environmental, ethical, or cultural angles. For example, a report might present ilmiöitä näkökulmina eri sidosryhmien toiveita ja tarpeita huomioiden, or a article may discuss a decision from näkökulmina several stakeholders’ concerns. The phrasing helps readers recognize that conclusions are contingent on perspective and context.

Nuances and related terms: näkökulmina foregrounds plurality and is distinct from the singular näkökulma, which refers to one specific angle. It is closely related to phrases like moninäkökulmainen or moninäkökulmainen lähestymistapa, which likewise aim to capture multiple viewpoints. While useful, the form is more common in formal or analytical prose and may sound contrived in everyday speech if overused. See also näkökulma, moninäkökulmainen, and multi-perspective analysis.
