tuloksessa

Tuloksessa is a Finnish inessive form of the noun tulos (result, outcome). It means “in the result” or “in the outcome” and is used to refer to something that is contained in or described by a particular result, or to indicate material that appears within the results of a study or report.

Morphology and usage: Tuloksessa is formed by taking tulos and adding the inessive suffix -ssa. It is a locative case form used with verbs of detection, description or reporting, for example in sentences like “Tuloksessa näkyy tilastollisesti merkitsevä ero” (In the result, a statistically significant difference is visible) or “Tuloksessa esitetään koehenkilöiden tulokset” (In the result, the participants’ results are presented). The word functions as a noun phrase component indicating the content or element that is found within the result.

Context and nuance: In scientific and technical Finnish, tuloksessa is often used to emphasize what is found or stated within the results section or within a particular result. When referring to the broader section of a document, writers more commonly use tulokset (plural) or phrases like tulosten osio, but tuloksessa can still appear when speaking about a specific outcome.

Examples and alternatives: Common collocations include “tuloksessa” + havaittiin/esiintyivät, “tuloksessa” + esitetään, and contrastive forms such as “tuloksesta” (from the result) or “tulokseen” (into the result). Overall, tuloksessa is a standard locative form used to denote content located within a result or outcome, especially in formal Finnish.
