Korotuksissa

Korotuksissa is a Finnish noun form describing a state or period characterized by multiple increases, typically in an economic or financial context. It is the inessive plural of korotus, meaning “increases” or “hikes.” The term is often used to refer to several upward adjustments that have taken place or are planned, such as interest-rate hikes, price increases, or wage raises.

Linguistic background: korotuksissa is formed from korotus (increase) plus the plural inessive suffix -issa, which marks “in” or “within” in the plural. The corresponding forms include korotuksen (genitive singular), korotukset (plural nominative), korotuksissa (plural inessive), and korotuksista (plural elative/genitive combined form depending on construction). The singular inessive is korotuksessa.

Usage: The term is common in journalism, economic analysis, and public policy discussions when describing the period during which several increases have occurred or are expected. It can refer to monetary policy, consumer prices, or contractual wage adjustments, among other contexts.

Related terms: korotus (the increase), korotukset (the increases), palkankorotus (salary increase), korko (interest rate). Distinctions between forms (e.g., korotuksissa vs. korotuksiin vs. korotuksista) convey different grammatical and semantic nuances, such as location “in the hikes,” direction toward the hikes, or origin from the hikes.

Examples:

- Keskuspankin päätökset ovat johtaneet korotuksiin viime vuosina.

- Sopimuksessa on sovittu palkankorotusten aikataulusta korotuksissa käytettävien kriteerien mukaan.
