lisäkohinaan

Lisäkohinaa is a Finnish term that generally refers to an additional increase or increment in a given context. The word is composed of the root "kohina," which can mean "stir," "agitation," or "boil," combined with the prefix "lisä-" meaning "extra" or "additional." Consequently, the literal sense of the term conveys the idea of adding to what already exists, a notion that is applied across several domains in Finnish usage.

In finance and economics, lisäkohinaa is most often employed when discussing interest rates, fiscal policy, or market indices. When a central bank raises its policy rate, the move is described as a lisäkohina. Similarly, governments may refer to an extra tax increment or a supplementary budgetary allocation as lisäkohinaa. In this context, the term signals a step beyond the baseline or previous level, emphasizing the extra burden or benefit perceived by stakeholders.

The phrase also appears in everyday conversation around household finances or small business budgets. For example, a business owner might say, "Yrityksen tulot ovat osittain johtuen lisäkohinasta viimeisen kolmivuotiskudellossa," to explain an uptick in profits arising from an additional rate or fee.

In colloquial speech, lisäkohinaa can be used more broadly to indicate any form of extra burden or added effort, such as someone working additional overtime or incurring extra costs. The core notion of “more” remains consistent across these varied utilisations, reinforcing the additive quality inherent in the word.
