Katkaisuineen

Katkaisuineen is a Finnish noun phrase meaning “with its disconnections/outages” or “including outages.” It is formed from the noun katkaisu (disconnection, interruption) plus the suffix -ineen, which marks accompaniment or inclusion of the described phenomena. The construction is commonly used in formal or journalistic Finnish to describe a situation where outages or interruptions are part of what is being discussed, such as power outages, telecommunications failures, or service disruptions.

Morphology and usage

The suffix -ineen attaches to the base form to indicate that the referenced problems occur together with the main event. Katkaisuineen is typically employed to emphasize that outages are an integral aspect of the described situation, rather than a separate or incidental detail. The construction is widely found in news reporting, official statements, and written descriptions of incidents.

Contexts and nuance

Katkaisuineen is most often used with occurrences of infrastructure or service interruptions. It conveys a sense of comprehensiveness or severity, by signaling that multiple related disruptions accompany the primary event. While mostly neutral, the phrasing can carry a critical or somber tone when describing disruption-heavy incidents.

Examples

Myrskyn katkoineen koko alue jäi ilman sähköä. (The storm, with its outages, left the entire area without power.)
