Televisioohjelmina

Televisioohjelmina is the plural essive form of the Finnish noun televisio-ohjelma, meaning “as television programs.” It is used to describe something in the capacity of or classified as television programs. The singular equivalent is televisio-ohjelmana.

Grammatical and linguistic note: In Finnish, the essive case expresses a temporary state or role, and the plural form televisioohjelmina corresponds to “as television programs” for multiple items. The base word televisio-ohjelma combines televisio (television) with ohjelma (program).

Usage and context: The term appears mainly in written Finnish, particularly in media studies, journalism, and linguistic descriptions of categorization or formats. It can be used when discussing how content is organized, presented, or analyzed as television programs rather than as other media formats. The phrase often appears in scholarly writing, reports, or analyses that require a precise designation of form.

Examples:

- Tutkimuksessa ohjelmat luokiteltiin televisioohjelmina viiden genren mukaan.

- Hanke voidaan esittää televisioohjelmina kolmen tunnin jaksoina.

Notes: Orthography may vary slightly; in many texts the term is written with a hyphen as televisio-ohjelmina, reflecting the compound structure televisio-ohjelma. The meaning remains the same, namely “as television programs.”
