aistimuksina

Aistimuksina is a Finnish word that functions as the essive plural form of the noun aistimus, meaning perception or sensation. The essive case expresses a temporary state or role, so aistimuksina can be understood as “as sensations” or “in the form of sensations” (plural). The singular form is aistimuksena (“as a sensation”).

Usage is mainly found in linguistic, philosophical, or analytical writing. It emphasizes presenting experiences from the standpoint of sensory perception rather than as objective facts. It can signal a subjective framing of reality or phenomena.

Examples include: Havaintoja voidaan kuvata aistimuksina. (Observations can be described as sensations.) Filosofisessa kontekstissa todellisuus voidaan ymmärtää aistimuksina. (In a philosophical context, reality can be understood as sensations.) Kokemus voidaan pitää aistimuksina. (The experience can be regarded as sensations.)

Notes: aistimuksina is a specialized term and is more common in formal or academic Finnish than in everyday speech. Related terms include aistimus (sense perception) and the broader Finnish essive case, which marks a temporary state or role.
