tilastollisesta

Tilastollisesta is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective tilastollinen, which means statistical. It is used to describe something that relates to statistics and to indicate a source or basis in statistics when modifying a noun in the elative case. In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify, and tilastollisestа represents the elative form, typically translated as “from a statistical …” or “in terms of statistics.”

Common usage of tilastollisesta appears in phrases that indicate statistical origin or perspective. For example, tilastollisesta näkökulmasta can be used to express “from a statistical perspective.” Tilastollisesta aineistosta refers to data derived from statistical materials, and tilastollisesta otoksesta can denote results drawn from a statistical sample. Such constructions are common in research reports, analyses, and discussions where evidence or arguments are grounded in statistical data.

The adverb form tilastollisesti is derived from tilastollinen and is used to describe how something is done in a statistical manner, as in tapahtua tilastollisesti merkitsevästi (statistically significant). The term tilastollinen itself is the base adjective, while tilastollisesta sits within the broader system of Finnish noun-adjective declension, allowing precise expression of statistical relation in various grammatical cases.
