Esimerkkeinä

Esimerkkeinä is a Finnish noun form meaning “as examples” and is used to introduce or present multiple examples. It is the plural translative form of the noun esimerkki, signaling that several items are being used in a representative or illustrative sense.

Usage in Finnish writing or speech is typically to mark items that function as illustrations rather than an exhaustive list. Esimerkkeinä is commonly placed at the start of a clause or sentence that presents examples, often followed by a list or a set of statements. It is used with verbs such as olla (to be) or toimia (to function), for instance: Esimerkkeinä voidaan käyttää seuraavia tapauksia. This signals that the following cases are being offered as examples.

Relation to other forms: esimerkki is the base noun; the singular translative form esimerkkinä can be used to mean “as an example” for a single item. The adverbiksi-like adverb esimerkiksi is used to introduce a single example in natural language, while esimerkkeinä specifically covers multiple examples.

Examples:

- Esimerkkeinä voidaan käyttää seuraavia tilanteita.

- Esimerkkeinä toimivat seuraavat tapauksia.
