Listauksia

Listauksia is Finnish for listings or listings entries and is the plural form of the noun listaus. A listaus refers to an enumeration, catalog, or compilation of items presented as a list. The term is used in many contexts where information is organized as a sequence of entries, such as product listings, real estate listings, bibliographic listings, or task checklists.

Listauksia can refer to both static lists and dynamic outputs produced by software or databases. In publishing and libraries, it might denote a catalog or index; in commerce, product lists or price lists; in information technology, the list of records returned by a query. The plural form emphasizes multiple listings rather than a single list.

Etymology and related terms: The word derives from the verb listata, to list, with the nominalizing suffix -us, yielding listaus; the plural form is listauksia. Related Finnish terms include luettelo (catalog or index) and luettelointi (the act of compiling a list). The concept is common across administration, journalism, retail, and IT, where organizing information as lists enhances accessibility and reference.
