Pyörityksenä

Pyörityksenä is a Finnish term that denotes “as a rotation” or “in the form of a rotation.” It is the essive form of the noun pyöritys (rotation or spinning) and is used to describe the manner or state in which a process or action occurs. The term is most commonly found in technical, scientific, or descriptive writing where rotational motion or swirling is central to the subject being described.

Grammatically, pyörityksenä represents the essive case, which in Finnish expresses a temporary state or role, roughly equivalent to “as” in English. The form conveys that something is being considered or performed in the capacity of a rotation. In practice, it appears in sentences that specify how a process is carried out or characterized, emphasizing the rotational aspect of the action.

Usage examples:

- Prosessi voidaan toteuttaa pyörityksenä, siten että neste pyörii tasaisesti. (The process can be implemented as a rotation, so that the liquid spins evenly.)

- Tutkimuksessa näytteen käsittely tapahtui pyörityksenä, jolloin sekoitus tapahtui korkealla kiertonopeudella. (In the study, the sample treatment occurred as a rotation, with mixing at a high rotational speed.)

Pyörityksenä is mainly encountered in contexts describing mechanical, chemical, or physical processes where rotation or swirling is a defining feature. Related terms include pyöritys (rotation/spin) and the broader concept of the essive case in Finnish grammar.
