kerroksia

Kerroksia is the plural partitive form of the Finnish noun kerros, which means layer, stratum, or floor depending on context. The word is used to describe multiple layers or floors in various domains, not a single fixed meaning.

In everyday language kerrokset commonly refer to the floors of a building. For example, Rakennuksessa on useita kerroksia means the building has several floors. The term is also used to describe layers within materials or environments, such as soil, rock, or insulation layers. For instance, Maaperässä on useita kerroksia describes multiple soil layers.

In cooking and food, kerroksia can describe layered dishes, most notably layer cakes. A cake with several layers can be described as having kolme kerrosta, and general references to multiple layers may use useita kerroksia.

Grammatically, kerroksia is the plural partitive form of kerros and is often used with quantities or indefinite references. When counting with numerals, the phrase kolmea kerrosta or useita kerroksia illustrates common usage patterns in Finnish grammar.
