yleisimmiltä

yleisimmiltä is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the ablative plural form of the superlative adjective yleisimmät, which means the most common or most general. The base adjective yleinen means general or common, and its superlative form expresses the highest degree of that property. In Finnish, adjectives are inflected to match the grammatical case and number of the noun they modify, so yleisimmiltä occurs specifically when the accompanying noun is in the ablative plural.

In practical use, yleisimmiltä describes from or by the most common ones, often implying source, origin, or basis. It is common in formal or written Finnish, particularly in academic, journalistic, or analytical prose, where researchers and writers discuss general patterns, widespread sources, or typical examples.

Examples:

- Tutkimuksessa käytetty aineisto on kerätty yleisimmiltä lähteiltä. (The data used in the study were collected from the most common sources.)

- Päätelmät on tehty yleisimmiltä esimerkeiltä, jotka kattavat suurimman osan ilmiöstä. (The conclusions are based on the most common examples that cover the majority of the phenomenon.)
