Tuotoissa

Tuotoissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish noun tuotto, meaning returns, yields, or profits. It is used to refer to the state or location of returns across multiple assets, periods, or items, and appears in financial, accounting, and economic discussions.

Formation and grammar: In Finnish, tuotto is the singular form, with the plural nominative tuotot. The inessive plural suffix -issa/-issä is added to the plural stem to form tuotoissa, meaning “in the returns” or “in the yields.” This pattern follows the general Finnish rule that -issa/-issä marks the inessive plural for many nouns, including those ending in -o.

Usage: Tuotoissa is used when talking about the level, development, or distribution of returns across several investments, assets, or time periods. It often appears in analyses, reports, or academic writing to describe how returns behave as a collective rather than for a single instrument. The term is common in finance and economics discussions in Finnish.

Examples:

- Finnish: Sijoitusportfolion tuotoissa on tänä vuonna kasvua.

Translation: There is growth in the returns of the investment portfolio this year.

- Finnish: Tuotoissa on vaihtelua eri vuosina.

Translation: There is variation in the yields across different years.
