eksplisiittisena

Eksplisiittisena is a Finnish predicative form of the adjective eksplisiittinen, meaning explicit. In usage, eksplisiittisena describes something that is presented or understood in a clear, unambiguous way, functioning as “as explicit” or “in an explicit form.” It is typically found in descriptive or analytical contexts, such as scholarly writing or critical discussions, where a state or role is being stated rather than the manner of expression.

Gramatically, eksplisiittisena is used as a predicative complement, often after verbs like esitettiin (was presented) or arvioitiin (was assessed). It differs from eksplisiittisesti, the standard adverb meaning “explicitly,” in that eksplisiittisena marks a state or designation rather than the manner of expression. For example, a claim might be described as eksplisiittisena, meaning it is presented as explicit or clearly stated, rather than merely having an explicit quality in general.

Etymology and related forms: eksplisiittisena derives from eksplisiittinen (explicit), which in turn is related to the Finnish explicit loanword lineage, ultimately tracing back to Latin explicitus via European languages. In contemporary Finnish, eksplisiittisesti is the more common adverb for “explicitly,” while eksplisiittisena is primarily used in predicative constructions to denote a specific explicit designation.
