Vuosikertaisia

Vuosikertaisia is a Finnish grammatical form used to describe data, figures, or items that occur on a yearly basis. It is the plural partitive form of the adjective vuosikertainen, literally meaning “annual” or “yearly.” The form is used when the noun it modifies is plural and in the partitive case, for example vuosikertaisia tilastoja (annual statistics) or vuosikertaisia tuloja (annual income).

In Finnish grammar, the adjective vuosikertainen agrees with the noun in number and case; therefore the plural partitive form is vuosikertaisia. The term is most common in formal or technical writing and is widely seen in contexts such as statistical reports, budgeting, and official documents, where data are presented for each year.

Vuosikertaisia is sometimes connected to the noun vuosikerta, which can refer to an edition or issue for a particular year, such as a magazine’s yearly volume. This reflects the broader sense of annual occurrence and helps explain why the form appears in discussions about yearly publications or datasets.

As a lexical item, vuosikertaisia functions as an adjective form rather than a standalone noun. Its English equivalents depend on the context, generally translating to “annual” or “yearly” when describing plural nouns in the partitive case. The usage is a staple of Finnish-language statistical and administrative writing, signaling information compiled or occurring each calendar year.
