tuloksissa

Tuloksissa is a Finnish grammatical form, not a proper noun. It is the inessive plural form of the noun tulos, meaning “result.” The word is used to indicate location or state “in the results” or “among the results,” and it appears in statistical, scientific, and evaluative contexts.

Morphology and usage: The base tulos becomes tulokset in the nominative plural. To form the inessive plural, the suffix -ssa (or -ssä in some cases) is added, producing tuloksissa. This follows Finnish vowel harmony rules: with the back-vowel stem shown by the root tulos, the back-vowel suffix -ssa is used, yielding tuloksissa. The singular counterpart is tuloksessa (“in the result”).

Context and meaning: Tuloksissa is commonly found in research reports, sports statistics, polling results, and reviews where a statement refers to what is found within the results. It often appears with verbs of existence or description, such as “on eroja tuloksissa” (there are differences in the results) or “tuloksissa näkyy trendi” (a trend is visible in the results).

Examples:

- Tuloksissa on eroja eri ryhmien välillä.

- Raportin tuloksissa näkyi selkeä parannus verrattuna edelliseen tarkistukseen.

- Tutkimuksessa tuloksissa kiinnitettiin huomiota epävarmuustekijöihin.
