Vuosittaisina

Vuosittaisina is a Finnish language form used to indicate that something is annual or occurs on a yearly basis, typically when referring to multiple items in a predicative or enumerative sense. It is the translative plural form of the adjective vuosittainen (annual) and is commonly found with a head noun in the translative case, as in expressions like vuosittaisina tarkastuksina or vuosittaisina maksuina.

In practice, vuosittaisina appears in formal, administrative, and legal writing. It describes actions, payments, events, or statistics that are planned to recur every year or that are to be understood as annual components within a set. The form is often used to contrast with singular or non-annual arrangements, and it can be attached to nouns in plural to emphasize their yearly nature.

Because it is a specific grammatical form, vuosittaisina is most often seen in contexts such as contracts, budgets, government reports, or organizational plans. For example, a document might reference vuosittaisina erinä (annual installments) or vuosittaisina tarkastuksina (annual inspections). When the descriptive emphasis is not on the annuality itself but on the manner of presentation, the related adverb vuosittain (annually) may be used instead.
