Kokouksina

Kokouksina is a Finnish noun-form that denotes “as meetings” or “in the capacity of meetings.” It is the plural essive form of kokous, meaning a meeting. The essive case expresses a temporary state or role, roughly equivalent to “as” in English. The singular form is kokouksena, while the plural form is kokouksina.

In Finnish grammar, the base kokous has the plural kokoukset. To form the essive plural, the suffix -ina is attached to the plural stem, producing kokouksina. The form is most commonly found in formal, descriptive, or bureaucratic texts and is relatively rare in everyday speech.

Käyttö on. Kokouksina is used to describe something that is experienced or performed in the capacity of meetings, or to categorize events as meetings rather than as general gatherings. Example: "Kokouksina pidettävät tilaisuudet järjestetään sekä läsnä- että etäosallistujille." In ordinary speech, speakers more often use kokoukset (nominative plural) or kokouksena (singular essive) when appropriate.
