tutkimuksellisessa

Tutkimuksellinen is an inflected Finnish adjective meaning related to research or study-oriented. The inessive form tutkimuksellisessa is used to locate discourse within a research setting, roughly translating to "in a research context." The word is built from tutkimus, meaning research, with the derivational suffix -llinen to form an adjective, and it follows ordinary Finnish inflection patterns, including the inessive ending -ssa/-ssä.

The term is most common in formal or academic writing, such as scientific articles, theses, and methodological discussions. It is used to describe objects, methods, or perspectives that pertain to or are designed for research purposes. Common collocations include konteksti (context), menetelmä (method), lähestymistapa (approach), suunnitelma (design), and aineisto (data/material).

Examples:

- Tutkimuksellisessa kontekstissa käytetty menetelmä osoitti tilastollisesti merkitseviä eroja. (The method used in a research context showed statistically significant differences.)

- Tutkimuksellisesta näkökulmasta on tärkeää huomioida aineiston keruun rajoitteet. (From a research perspective, it is important to consider the limitations of data collection.)

Etymology and form: tutkimuksellinen derives from tutkimus plus the adjectival suffix -llinen, and the inessive form tutkimuksellisessa reflects Finnish case inflection, enabling phrases like "tutkimuksellisessa kontekstissa." The term is primarily encountered in academic Finnish and is less common in everyday language.
