Korjausta

Korjausta is a Finnish noun formed from korjaus, meaning repair, correction, or adjustment. The word korjausta represents the partitive singular form of korjaus, used when referring to an indefinite amount of repair activity or when the object is not specified. It can denote the act of repairing something (for example, a device, an appliance, a building) or a correction in a broader sense, such as a textual or data correction.

The noun emerges from the verb korjata (to repair) with the abstract noun suffix -us to form korjaus, and with the partitive suffix -ta to yield korjausta.

Korjausta is common in everyday language when discussing repairs that are needed or underway. It is used with verbs and expressions that require the partitive, for example: "Laite tarvitsee korjausta" (The device needs repair), "Tarvitsemme korjausta ennen myyntiä" (We need a repair before selling). In software or publishing contexts, korjausta can mean a bug fix or correction to text.

In formal or legal contexts one might use korjaus instead of korjausta, depending on the grammatical role; the partitive korjausta is often used after verbs like tarvita, tehdä, antaa, suunnitella, and similar constructions.

Related terms include korjaus (repair/correction), korjaaminen (repairing), parannus (improvement), virhekorjaus (bug fix or error correction), korjaustyö (repair work), and korjaaja (repairer).
