partiillisesta

Partiillisesta is a Finnish word that translates to "partial" or "partially" in English. It is an adjective or adverb used to describe something that is not complete, whole, or entire. The word is derived from the root "osa," meaning "part."

In various contexts, partiillisesta can indicate a degree of incompleteness or a state of being only partly done. For instance, a building project might be described as partiillisesta valmis, meaning it is only partially finished. Similarly, a scientific experiment could yield partiillisesta tuloksia, or partial results. The word emphasizes that a full or complete state has not yet been achieved.

The usage of partiillisesta is common in everyday Finnish conversation, as well as in more formal settings like technical reports or legal documents where precise descriptions of completeness are important. It serves to convey a nuanced understanding of a situation where something is in progress or only a portion is affected. The opposite of partiillisesta would be täydellinen or kokonainen, meaning complete or whole.
