Korotuksilla

Korotuksilla is a Finnish term formed from the noun korotus, meaning an increase or rise, and the instrumental plural suffix -illa. It is used to indicate actions or measures that bring about increases in something, such as prices, rates, wages, or other quantities. The phrase is common in economic, financial, and policy discussions, where it often describes deliberate increases implemented by authorities or organizations.

In practice, korotuksilla is frequently encountered in discussions of monetary and fiscal policy. For example, central banks may use korotuksilla to tighten monetary policy by raising key interest rates, with implications for borrowing costs, investment, and inflation. The term can also refer to increases in wages, pension benefits, or consumer prices, depending on the context, such as government budgets, collective bargaining, or fee schedules. The exact meaning is determined by the accompanying noun or noun phrase, for instance korotuksilla korkojen nousuun or korotuksilla palkkoihin.

Linguistically, korotuksilla is the instrumental case of korotus in the plural, and it is used to express means or methods by which an increase is achieved. It contrasts with korotukset (the noun in its base plural) and with kylän korotuksiin, illustrating how Finnish morphology encodes the mode of action.

Related terms include korotus (increase), korotukset (increases), and korottaa (to raise/increase). The specific interpretation of korotuksilla depends on the surrounding context and the noun it accompanies.
