tyypistää

Tyypistä is the elative singular form of the Finnish noun tyyppi, meaning "type" or "kind." In Finnish grammar, tyypistä is used to express origin or source relative to a type, or to indicate a basis or reference connected to a type. The elative case often answers questions such as “From which type?” and appears in phrases that discuss how features or characteristics derive from a particular category.

Morphology and usage are typical of Finnish nouns. The elative form is created with the suffix -stä/-stä, and tyypistä is the standard form for the elative singular of tyyppi. This form is commonly found in both formal and everyday language, especially in discussions of classification, modeling, or comparisons across categories. In practice, tyypistä is frequently combined with verbs and adjectives to express dependence on or relation to a type, for example in phrases like tyypistä riippuen or tyypistä johtuvat ominaisuudet.

Common examples illustrate its function: Tyypistä riippuen ominaisuudet voivat vaihdella. This means that the features may vary depending on the type. Another example: Rakenteen suunnittelussa on otettava huomioon tyypistä johtuvat rajoitukset. The word thus provides a precise linguistic tool for talking about sources, origins, or reference frames tied to a particular type or category.
