Toimituksina

Toimituksina is a Finnish inflected form of the noun toimitus. The word toimitus has several meanings in Finnish, most commonly “delivery, shipment” in logistics and “editorial staff, newsroom” in media contexts. The form toimituksina signals a plural subject or object in a role, function, or state and is typically encountered in formal or specialized writing.

In practice, toimituksina is most often interpreted through its sense related to editors or the newsroom. When toimitus refers to an editorial office or group of editors, toimituksina can convey “as the editorial staff” or “as the newsroom.” In a different sense, where toimitus means a delivery or shipment, toimituksina can be understood as “as deliveries/shipments,” depending on the surrounding text. Because Finnish case forms hinge on context, the exact translation depends on how the sentence uses the form.

The term is more common in administrative, legal, or journalistic texts than in everyday conversation. It tends to appear in statements about roles, responsibilities, or states of a group rather than in casual descriptions. For everyday language, speakers usually use the base forms toimitus or toimituksena (singular) or rephrase with more common expressions.
