piirustuksilla

Piirustuksilla is a Finnish noun phrase meaning “with drawings” or “by drawings.” It is the instrumental plural form of piirustus, meaning a drawing or sketch. In Finnish, the instrumental case marks means, method, or instrument, so piirustuksilla expresses that drawings are used to convey information or to serve as a basis.

The expression is used in contexts where drawings function as the primary medium for communication, such as architecture, engineering, manufacturing, art, and education. For example, sentences can denote that information is provided via plans and drawings: “Tiedot esitetään piirustuksilla” or “Päätökset tehtiin piirustuksilla esitettyjen vaatimusten perusteella.” In documentation, piirustuksilla can indicate that a specification or design is represented by drawings rather than text.

Form and related terms: The singular instrumental form is piirustuksella, and the nominative plural is piirustukset; the partitive is piirustuksia. The term is commonly used in professional or academic Finnish to emphasize the visual or graphical representation of information.

Etymology and usage notes: Derived from piirustus (drawing) with the instrumental suffix -lla; used to refer to multiple drawings or to the medium of drawings as a means of communication.
