Korostukseen

Korostukseen is a form of the Finnish noun korostus, meaning emphasis, stress, or highlighting. The word is used in different contexts to refer to making something stand out or to the act of emphasizing it. The base verb korostaa means to emphasize or stress, and korostus is the corresponding noun. The illative form korostukseen indicates movement into or toward emphasis, and it may appear in sentences describing a purpose or direction related to emphasizing something.

In linguistics and prosody, korostus refers to prosodic emphasis or focal stress in speech. In writing and typography, korostus can describe techniques for making text stand out, such as bolding, italics, or other markup used to highlight important words or phrases. The concept is closely related to korostaminen, the process of emphasizing, and to broader ideas of emphasis in rhetoric and argumentation, where certain points are highlighted to guide the reader or listener’s attention.

Usage notes: korostukseen is an illative form and thus appears in phrases where emphasis is the target or destination of an action or consideration, for example when describing the purpose of applying emphasis in a text or speech. As with many Finnish noun forms, the exact collocations depend on context and register.
