tutkimuksellisissa

Tutkimuksellisissa is a Finnish adjective form meaning “in research-related contexts” or “pertaining to research,” and it is the inessive plural form of the adjective tutkimuksellinen. It is used to modify a plural noun in the inessive case, for example in expressions such as tutkimuksellisissa olosuhteissa (in research-related conditions) or tutkimuksellisissa yhteyksissä (in research-related contexts). The base adjective describes something that is grounded in or related to research.

Etymology and meaning: tutkimuksellinen is formed from the noun tutkimus (research) plus the suffix -ellinen, which yields meaning akin to “pertaining to” or “based on.” The resulting form tutkimukselliset (nominative plural) or tutkimuksellisissa (inessive plural) follows standard Finnish adjective declension to agree with its noun.

Usage: In Finnish academic and formal writing, tutkimuksellinen is used to describe methods, evidence, theories, or frameworks that are based on or derived from research. It is a more specialized term than everyday phrases, and it often appears in combinations like tutkimukselliset menetelmät (research-based methods) or tutkimuksellisesti osoitetut tulokset (empirically demonstrated results). The adverb corresponding to this area is tutkimuksellisesti.

Notes: The form tutkimuksellisissa requires a plural noun in the inessive case, so it is usually found as part of a larger phrase rather than standing alone. In non-specialist contexts, writers might prefer more common expressions such as tutkimukseen perustuva or tutkimusperusteinen. The term remains formal and relatively common in scholarly Finnish when precision about the research basis is intended.
