kaavioina

Kaavioina is a Finnish term meaning “as diagrams” or “in the form of diagrams.” It is formed from the noun kaavio (diagram) with the suffix -ina, which is used to indicate a form or mode in Finnish. The word is typically used to describe how information is presented in written or spoken text, especially in scientific, educational, and technical contexts.

The form kaavioina is used to contrast visual representations with other presentation formats, such as prose descriptions or tables. In practice it appears in sentences that discuss displaying data or findings as diagrams. While kaavioina emphasizes the diagrammatic presentation, it is often used interchangeably with related expressions like “kaavioina ja kuviin” or simply “kaavioina” to specify the mode of presentation.

Usage examples include: Tiedot esitettiin kaavioina. Tulokset esitetään kaavioina ja kuvioina. Raportin havainnollistamiseksi tiedot voidaan esittää kaavioina. In formal Finnish, kaavioina tends to occur in technical or academic writing and helps convey a preference for visual summarization of information.
