sanastoineen

Sanastoineen is a Finnish compound form meaning “with a glossary” or “glossary included.” It is used in descriptions, catalogs, and scholarly texts to indicate that the item being described includes a glossary. The form combines sanasto, meaning glossary, with the comitative suffix -ineen, which signals accompaniment or inclusion.

Formation and usage notes: The suffix -ineen attaches to a noun to express that another element is present together with the base noun. In sanastoineen, this signals that the work comes with a glossary. The construction is common in library catalogs, bibliographies, and technical writings where precise documentation is important. It is typically found in written descriptions rather than in casual speech.

Contexts and implications: Using sanastoineen helps readers quickly identify whether a publication provides a glossary alongside the main text. It can appear in product descriptions, catalog entries, and academic references to distinguish materials that include supportive linguistic or subject-specific glossaries.

Examples: Oppikirja sanastoineen. (A textbook with a glossary.) Tietokirja sanastoineen ja kuvitetoineen. (A reference book with a glossary and illustrations.) Kirja sanastoineen viittaa siihen, että teos sisältää sanastoa lukijoita varten.
