raportteilla

Raportti is a Finnish noun meaning a report or formal document. The form raportteilla is the adessive plural of raportti, used to indicate location or context related to multiple reports. In English terms it roughly corresponds to “on the reports” or “in the reports,” depending on the sentence.

Raportteilla is used when referring to reports as material, sources, or data in a text. It is common in academic, administrative, and professional writing to discuss information, findings, or contents that are contained in or drawn from a set of reports. The construction often appears in phrases that describe what is presented, referenced, or used from those reports.

Usage notes include that raportteilla typically signals the source or context for the information, rather than naming a single document. It can be contrasted with other case forms that indicate direction or possession, such as raportteille (to the reports) or raportteilla olevan (the information from the reports).

Example sentences:

- Raportteilla esitetään tilastotiedot. (The statistical data are presented in the reports.)

- Hankkeessa käytettiin raportteilla kerättyä dataa. (The data collected in the reports were used in the project.)

- Raportteilla on keskeinen rooli päätöksenteossa. (The reports play a central role in decision-making.)

Etymology and related terms: raportti originates from a word borrowed into Finnish from Swedish rapport or English report. Related concepts include raportointi (reporting) and raporttien käyttö (use of reports) in research and administration.
