Parametreina

Parametreina is the plural essive form of the Finnish noun parametri, meaning "as parameters." It is used to express the role or function of multiple parameters in a model, equation, analysis, or data set. The essive case conveys a temporary or contextual state, roughly equivalent to "as" in English. The singular form is parametrina ("as a parameter"), while the plural form is parametreina ("as parameters"). This form is common in technical and scientific Finnish.

In practice, parametreina appears in sentences to specify how values are used or interpreted within a system. It is frequent in computing, statistics, engineering, and physics literature. For example: Mallissa parametreina käytettiin kolmea arvoa: α, β ja γ. This sentence means that three values were used as parameters in the model. Another example: Parametreina olivat A ja B, joita sovelluksessa säädeltiin.

Usage notes: parametreina functions as a predicate or a postposed modifier, often reflecting the role of the values rather than listing them. In translation, English phrases like "as parameters" map to Finnish using this essive plural form, aligning with Finnish grammar rather than using a separate word order or clause. The form is productive and widely understood in technical discourse, ensuring precise description of the role of multiple parameters in analysis or modeling.
