nostamisen

Nostamisen is a Finnish noun that denotes the act of lifting, raising, or elevating something. It covers literal movements—such as lifting a load by hand or hoisting with machinery—as well as broader processes, such as the raising of prices, salaries, or levels. In everyday and technical language, nostamisen appears in genitive phrases like nostamisen tarve (the need for lifting) or nostamisen perusteet (the basics of lifting).

Grammatically, nostamisen is the genitive singular form of nostaminen, which is derived from the verb nostaa (to lift or raise) with the -minen suffix that turns verbs into nouns. The base noun nostaminen can occur in nominative use, while nostamisen specifies a relationship to another element (for example, nostamisen kustannukset—the costs of lifting).

Common contexts include construction and logistics (lifting operations, crane work, and manual handling), occupational safety (safe lifting techniques and proper technique), and economic or policy discussions (nostamisen of prices or wages). The term is widely used in Finnish-language discourse to describe both physical actions and corresponding processes or phenomena.
