Paksuuksissa

Paksuuksissa is a Finnish noun form meaning "in thicknesses." It is the inessive plural form of paksuus, which means thickness, and it is used when referring to more than one thickness or to the thicknesses within a composite object. The term is most common in technical and scientific Finnish, such as in construction, material science, geology and quality control.

In practice, paksuuksissa signals that a discussion concerns variations or measurements across multiple thickness values rather than a single dimension. It often appears in descriptions of layered or multi-component systems where different parts or sections have different thicknesses. For example, in engineering reports one might say that “kappaleen eri paksuuksissa on havaittavaa vaihtelua” (there is variation in the piece’s different thicknesses) or that “rakenteen paksuuksissa on poikkeamia” (there are anomalies in the thicknesses of the structure).

Grammatically, paksuuksissa is formed from paksuus (thickness) with the plural inessive suffix -issa, indicating location or state “in the thicknesses.” Related forms include paksuus (singular nominative), paksuudessa (singular inessive), and paksuuksista (genitive plural). Although primarily a technical term, it can appear in technical reports, drawings, measurements, and academic writing to describe variability or distribution of thickness across a subject.
