Esimerkit

Esimerkit is the plural form of the Finnish noun esimerkki, meaning an example or illustration. In Finnish texts, esimerkit are used to present multiple illustrative items such as sample sentences, problem examples, or code snippets. The term is common in educational materials, manuals, and dictionaries, where groups of items are shown to demonstrate a rule, usage, or concept.

In education and language learning, esimerkit help clarify grammar, vocabulary, or pronunciation by providing context. In programming and software documentation, esimerkit typically consist of short code blocks demonstrating how a function or API is used, including input and expected output. In mathematics and science, esimerkit illustrate procedures, theorems, or experimental steps.

The nominative plural esimerkit has other inflectional forms in Finnish, including genitive esimerkkien and partitive esimerkkejä. Esimerkit is not usually a proper noun unless used as a title or label for a collection named Esimerkit. In such cases, capitalization may indicate a specific collection or project.
