perushintoihin

Perushintoihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun perushinta, meaning base price or reference price. The form is used in written Finnish to refer to multiple base prices or to the concept of base prices as the set or domain under consideration. Linguistically, perushinta compounds perus- (base, fundamental) with hinta (price), and the illative plural suffix -ihin marks direction toward or inclusion within that set.

In usage, perushintoihin appears mainly in business, finance, and procurement contexts. It is common in formal texts such as price lists, tender documents, and market analyses, where discussions compare base prices before discounts, taxes, or markups. The illative plural highlights the notion of "into these base prices" or "within the base prices" as the scope of analysis or discussion. For example, statements might refer to evaluating offers by comparing them to perushintoihin or to analyzing price movements relative to perushintoihin.

Semantically, perushintoihin helps distinguish baseline price levels from other price types (discounted, negotiated, or final prices). Related terms include perushinta (base price), vertailuhinta (comparison price), and alennushinta (discount price). The concept is situational and largely dependent on pricing strategies, procurement rules, and market practices. In Finnish pricing and accounting language, perushintoihin serves as a precise reference point when grounding analyses and comparisons in a defined baseline.
