Näyttökerran

Näyttökerran is the genitive form of the Finnish noun näyttökerta, which designates a single showing, screening, or demonstration—typically one instance of a film screening, theatre performance, or product demonstration. The term is formed from the words näyttö (display, screening) and kerta (time, occasion). In schedules, catalogs, or press materials, näyttökerta refers to one occurrence of a show or demonstration.

The genitive Näyttökerran is used to indicate possession or a qualifier, for example in phrases such as näyttökerran kesto (the duration of a single screening) or lipun hinta yhdelle näyttökerralle (the ticket price for one screening). In plural form, the nominative is näyttökerrat, and possessive or collective phrases may use näyttökertojen or similar constructions depending on the sentence.

Common contexts for the term include cinema showings, theatre performances, and exhibitions that feature a distinct, time-bound session. It can also appear in art or product demonstrations where a specific session is distinguished from others. In everyday speech, the word is more common in written schedules and formal materials; in more casual contexts, terms like esitys or näytös may be used to convey a related meaning with different nuance.
