Todistusaineistona is a Finnish grammatical form that means “as evidence.” It is derived from the compound noun todistusaineisto, meaning evidence materials or evidentiary materials, and uses the essive suffix -na to express a state or role.

In use, todistusaineistona denotes that certain materials or items are presented or regarded in a given context as evidence. This function is common in formal writing, such as legal documents, official reports, or academic research. For example, in a court setting, documents can be described as todistusaineistona, meaning they are being used as evidence in the case. In research, interviews and records may be described as todistusaineistona to indicate their role as supporting evidence for findings.

Grammatically, todistusaineisto is a noun meaning “evidence material,” and the suffix -na marks the essive case, which conveys “in the capacity of” or “as.” The phrase can be inflected further, for instance todistusaineistona toimivat (they operate as evidence) or todistusaineistona käytetty (used as evidence). There is also a translative form, todistusaineistoksi, indicating a change of state or function to become evidence.
