Selityksineen

Selityksineen is a Finnish expression meaning “with explanations” or “accompanied by explanations.” It signals that the referenced item includes explanatory notes, commentary, or supplementary material. The form is derived from the noun selitys (explanation) combined with a suffix that marks accompaniment; in practice it functions as a postmodifier in noun phrases.

Usage and contexts

Selityksineen is most common in written Finnish, especially in editorial, scholarly, or reference texts. It appears in dictionaries, encyclopedias, annotated editions, catalog entries, and museum placards, where it helps indicate that additional explanatory material accompanies the main text or object. The tone is formal and sometimes archaic, making the construction less frequent in everyday speech.

Examples

Teos selityksineen julkaistaan ensi vuonna. (The work with explanations will be published next year.)

Sanakirja selityksineen ja esimerkein julkaistaan myöhemmin. (A dictionary with explanations and examples will be published later.)

Relation to related forms

The phrase can be contrasted with related expressions such as lisäselitykset (additional explanations) and selityksen kera (with an explanation). While selityksineen emphasizes accompanying explanations, other constructions may shift nuance toward the nature or quantity of the explanatory material.

Overall

Selityksineen remains a clear, formal way to indicate that explanatory material accompanies a work or item, most often found in written, reference, or educational contexts.
