oireista

Oireista is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun oire, meaning symptom. In medical and clinical Finnish, the word is used to refer to information derived from symptoms or to indicate that a conclusion is based on what the symptoms show. It is not a separate concept on its own, but a grammatical form that appears in phrases describing sources of evidence.

In practice, oireista often appears in sentences that discuss inference, assessment, or cause. For example, Oireista voidaan päätellä, että potilas on saanut tartunnan (From the symptoms, it can be inferred that the patient has contracted the infection). The elative form also occurs in expressions like oireista johtuen or oireista johtuva hoidon tarve, where the symptoms are presented as the basis for a course of action or interpretation.

Grammar and usage notes: Oire is a native Finnish noun for symptom; oireet is the nominative plural, oireiden the genitive plural, and oireista the elative plural. The elative expresses origin or source, and in medical writing it frequently appears in observational statements, differential diagnoses, and clinical reasoning. While common in professional texts, oireista is less typical in casual conversation unless discussing medical observations or reports.
