Korjauksina

Korjauksina is a Finnish noun form that means “as corrections.” It is the plural essive form of the noun korjaus, which translates to a correction or repair. The singular essive form is korjauksena, meaning “as a correction.” The essive case is used in Finnish to express a temporary state or role, such as describing how something is viewed or presented.

In practical use, korjauksina describes items or proposals that are presented in the role of corrections, typically in editing, revision processes, or administrative amendments. It often appears in contexts where mistakes are addressed and replaced by suggested changes. For example, sentences like virheet esitettiin korjauksina (“the errors were presented as corrections”) and raporttiin lisätyt muutokset esitettiin korjauksina (“the changes added to the report were presented as corrections”) illustrate its function.

Morphology and related forms: korjaus is the base noun; korjauksena is the singular essive (“as a correction”), while korjauksina is the plural essive (“as corrections”). The translative form korjaukseksi expresses a different meaning, roughly “as a correction to become,” indicating a change of state or designation rather than a role.

Usage notes: Korjauksina is primarily found in written Finnish, especially in editing, documentation, and formal discussions of amendments. It should not be confused with korjaukseksi, which marks a shift toward designating something as a correction rather than presenting it as one.
