Paksuuksina

Paksuuksina is a Finnish word form derived from the noun paksuus, meaning thickness. It is the essive plural form, used to express “as thicknesses” or “in the capacity of thicknesses.” In technical and descriptive Finnish, paksuuksina appears when listing or describing multiple thickness values as characteristics of different layers or components.

In practice, paksuuksina is commonly found in engineering, geology, architecture, and related fields where several measurements of thickness are presented together. It is used to indicate that the listed numbers should be understood as distinct thickness values for different elements rather than a single measurement. For example, a chart might state that layers have paksuuksina 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 2.0 mm.

The form is part of the broader set of Finnish noun endings that mark state or role (the essive case). Other related forms of paksuus include the singular translative paksuudeksi and the plural translative paksuuksiksi, which convey different grammatical nuances. Paksuuksina, by contrast, emphasizes a plural role or state across multiple thicknesses.

Etymology-wise, paksuuksina combines the base paksuus (thickness) with the essive plural ending, aligning with Finnish grammar rules for expressing “as thicknesses.” It is primarily a technical or formal usage and may be uncommon outside contexts dealing with measurements and material properties.
