kohotuksen

Kohotus is a Finnish noun derived from the verb kohota, meaning to rise, lift, or increase. It refers to the act or process of lifting or elevating something, and it is used across several domains to describe both physical lifting and monetary or qualitative increases.

In economic and social contexts, kohotus is used to describe increases such as wage rises (palkankohotus) or price increases (hinnankohotus). The term can appear in official announcements, news reporting, or organizational communications to denote forthcoming or enacted increases, though in some cases korotus (increase) may be more common depending on the specific usage and style guidelines.

In medical and cosmetic contexts, kohotus denotes lifting procedures. Common examples include kasvojenkohotus (facelift) and rintojen kohotus (breast lift). Here the word conveys a deliberate surgical or cosmetic elevation of tissue or skin.

Etymologically, kohotus comes from the verb kohota, which centers on rising or lifting. The form kohotuksen is the genitive singular, used in phrases such as “kohotuksen vaikutukset” (the effects of the lift/increase) or “palkankohotuksen toteuttaminen” (implementation of the wage increase).

Nuance and usage guidance: kohotus often emphasizes a deliberate act of raising or an explicit increase, and may be more common in contexts describing notable or formal changes, whereas other terms like korotus or kohoaminen are also used for increases and rising trends depending on the nuance and register.
