Identtisinä

Identtisinä is a Finnish adjective form meaning “as identical” or “identical,” and it is the essive plural form of identtinen. It is used to describe several things that are in the state of being identical, typically in a sentence that emphasizes their sameness or identical condition.

In Finnish grammar, identtinen describes sameness or exact correspondence between objects, attributes, or data. The form identtisinä is used when the subject is plural and the speaker treats the items as existing in the state of being identical. For example, a sentence such as Nämä kappaleet ovat identtisinä can be understood as “These pieces are identical (as such).” The exact case and ending reflect the essive mood, which expresses a temporary state of being.

Usage and context: identtisinä appears most often in formal, technical, or analytical writing, such as scientific descriptions, data comparisons, or discussions of duplicates and copies. It helps convey that several items share the same characteristics or form, without implying permanence beyond the described context.

Relation to other forms: identtinen is the base adjective meaning “identical,” and identtisesti is the adverb meaning “identically.” The term is closely linked to the concept of identity, or identiteetti, in Finnish.
