välikokoisista

Välikokoisista is a Finnish term used to describe items that fall between small and large in size. It functions as the plural elative form of the adjective-noun phrase välikokoiset, meaning “intermediate-sized.” In practice, välikokoisista is used when discussing a subset of products, units, or other objects that are not clearly small or large, but occupy an intermediate position in a given classification.

The word is formed from väli- (between, intermediate) plus kokoinen (of size) with the standard Finnish plural and case endings. Because the exact meaning of what counts as “intermediate” depends on the context, välikokoisista does not correspond to a universal, fixed size category. Different domains—such as manufacturing, retail, forestry, or logistics—may define their own cutoffs for what constitutes an intermediate size.

In usage, välikokoisista appears most commonly in contexts that discuss subsets or data points within a range. It can refer to products, parts, measurements, or other items described as being between a small and a large variant. Often, it co-occurs with a following noun in the elative or other case forms, for example välikokoisista tuotteista (about/from the intermediate-sized products) or välikokoisten osien valikoima (the assortment of intermediate-sized parts).

Related terms include keskikokoiset (medium-sized), which is a more common general descriptor, and the broader idea of size-based categorization used in cataloging, packaging, and manufacturing. Välikokoisista emphasizes the intermediate position within such a scheme.
