Parannuksina

Parannuksina is a Finnish noun form that means “as improvements” or “in the form of improvements.” It is the plural essive form of the noun parannus, which denotes improvements, corrections, or revisions. The corresponding singular essive form is parannuksena, meaning “as an improvement.”

In Finnish grammar, the essive case expresses a temporary state or role, roughly comparable to the English “as.” Parannuksina therefore indicates a state or role of something being presented or regarded as multiple improvements. The word is most often encountered in written or formal contexts, such as documentation, editorial work, or discussions about revisions to texts, proposals, or plans.

Usage and examples:

- Dokumentin parannuksina esitetyt muutosehdotukset parantavat sen selkeyttä. (The proposed changes presented as improvements improve its clarity.)

- Ehdotukset on listattu parannuksina, jotta lukija näkee, mitä on muutettu. (The proposals are listed as improvements so that the reader can see what has changed.)

Relation to other forms: parannus means improvement, and the related forms include parannuksena (singular essive) and parannuksina (plural essive). The concept is tied to the essive case in Finnish grammar, which marks a temporary state or role.
