Laatikoittain

Laatikoittain is a Finnish term that translates to "in boxes" or "by the boxful." It describes a quantity of something that is so abundant it fills or is transported in multiple boxes. The term can be used in various contexts, from describing literal boxes of goods to a more figurative sense of immense quantity.

In a literal sense, laatikoittain might refer to a shipment of products that arrive in many large crates or shipping containers. For instance, a store might receive new inventory laatikoittain, indicating a large volume of items. This usage emphasizes the physical packaging and the sheer number of units being moved or stored.

Figuratively, laatikoittain can convey a sense of overwhelming abundance or a very large collection of something. One might say they have books laatikoittain if they possess a vast and perhaps somewhat disorganized library. It suggests a quantity that is difficult to quantify precisely but is clearly extensive and fills a considerable space, much like items filling boxes. The term implies a practical, albeit often informal, way of measuring or describing large amounts.
