lahjakorteina

Lahjakorteina is a Finnish expression used to indicate that something is offered or used in the form of gift cards. It is formed from the noun lahjakortti, meaning gift card, with a grammatical ending that expresses the function or state of being “as gift cards.” The phrase is commonly found in marketing, product descriptions, and consumer communications when an offer is structured as gift cards rather than cash or other payment forms.

In usage, lahjakorteina describes how gifts or incentives are provided. For example, a campaign might state that rewards are offered lahjakorteina, i.e., as gift cards, sometimes with a specified value or range. The form can apply to both physical and electronic gift cards and may cover individual items or bundles offered to customers.

Linguistic notes: in Finnish, lahjakortti has several related forms. The singular translative is lahjakortiksi (into a gift card). The plural translative forms are typically lahjakorteiksi, and lahjakorteina may appear in some texts as a variant to express the same idea in plural contexts. The choice of form depends on number and syntactic role in the sentence.
