Tasaisuutena

Tasaisuutena is a Finnish noun form that denotes the state or quality of being even, uniform, or steady. It is the translative case of the noun tasaisuus, meaning that it describes something as being in the state of evenness or uniformity, often in a formal or descriptive sense.

Etymology and form: Tasaisuus means evenness or regularity. By adding the translative suffix -na/-nä, tasaisuus becomes tasaisuutena, used to express “as evenness” or “as uniformity.” In sentences, it marks a characteristic or condition under discussion, rather than a concrete object.

Usage: The word is most common in formal, technical, or academic Finnish, where authors describe properties, processes, or results in terms of their level of uniformity or steadiness. It can be used to frame conclusions, judgments, or observations about how something behaves or is maintained over time, especially in contrast to variability. For example, a sentence might state that “tulokset pysyivät tasaisuutena koko mittausjakson ajan” to emphasize consistent results across measurements.

Notes: Because tasaisuutena is a specific grammatical form, it is most appropriate in contexts that require precise description of states or qualities. It is less common in everyday colloquial Finnish, where simpler constructions may convey the idea of consistency or uniformity.
