Jännitteinä

Jännitteinä is a Finnish noun form derived from jännite, meaning either electrical voltage or mechanical tension. The word appears primarily in technical contexts, where multiple quantities of this kind are considered or described collectively.

Grammatically, jännitteinä is the plural essive form of jännite. The essive case expresses a state or role, roughly translating to “as voltages” or “as tensions” in English. In plural, the form ends with -inä, yielding jännitteinä. This usage is common in scientific and engineering texts when discussing several voltages or tensions simultaneously, such as in diagrams, measurements, or comparative descriptions.

Usage and contexts

In electrical engineering and physics, jännitteinä is used to talk about multiple voltages observed in a circuit or system, for example when presenting data or describing conditions in a diagram. It can denote the state of being voltages in a given context, rather than a single voltage. In mechanical or structural contexts, the same form may refer to multiple tensions or stresses described as a group.

Related forms

The base noun jännite has other grammatical forms for singular expressiveness, such as jännite (nominative singular) or jänniteä/jännitteet (partitive or plural nominative). The essive plural jännitteinä is specifically used when the writer wants to describe the plurality as a state or role, often in technical prose.
