mittauspisteenä

Mittauspisteenä is the Finnish essive form of the compound noun mittauspiste, meaning "as a measuring point" or "in the role of a measurement point." The word combines mittaus (measurement) and piste (point) with the essive suffix -nä, which indicates a temporary state, role, or capacity. In standard Finnish orthography the base form is mittauspiste and the essive singular is mittauspisteenä; the essive plural appears as mittauspisteinä.

The term is commonly used in technical and scientific contexts where a location, object or device is designated to serve as a reference or observation point for measurements. Typical fields of use include land surveying, environmental monitoring, construction site assessments, metrology and instrument calibration. For example, a fixed post on a shoreline may be described as toimia mittauspisteenä for sea-level observations.

As a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical entry, mittauspisteenä appears in sentences to express that something is being used in the capacity of a measuring point. Equivalent expressions in English are "as a measuring point" or "used as a measurement point." Related Finnish terms include mittauspiste (measurement point), mittausasema (measurement station) and havaintopiste (observation point).
