Kokeilevana

Kokeilevana is a Finnish linguistic form derived from the verb kokeilla, meaning to try. It represents the essive, a grammatical expression of a temporary state, built on the present participle kokeileva. As an essive form, kokeilevana is used to convey “in the role of testing” or “as a trial,” and it typically appears in noun phrases to indicate that something is provided for testing or is currently in a test phase. It is commonly used in contexts such as software releases, product testing, and experimental settings.

In Finnish grammar, the essive case marks temporary states or roles, and the form kokeilevana can be used with nouns to describe their state during a trial. The construction often occurs with phrases like kokeilevana versiona (as a trial version) or kokeilevana tilana (in testing mode). The usage signals that the subject is not in its final or permanent state but is being evaluated or tested.

Examples of usage include: Ohjelmaa on saatavilla kokeilevana versiona. Ominaisuutta voidaan testata kokeilevana tilana ennen lopullista julkaisua. Kokeilevana is not a separate dictionary entry; it is a grammatical form that communicates a testing or trial state.
