siirroksina

Siirroksina is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the noun siirto meaning transfer. It marks the semantic role of a thing as a transfer, equivalent to "as transfers" in English. The form appears mainly in linguistic descriptions and technical texts rather than in everyday speech.

In Finnish, essive forms are produced by inflecting the stem with the suffix -na or -nä; for nouns ending in -to, an assimilated form siirroksena or siirroksina is used. The singular form siirroksena denotes "as a transfer," while the plural siirroksina denotes "as transfers."

Used in documents describing processes, translations, or data or ownership transfers, the term clarifies that the item is being discussed in its capacity as a transfer rather than as a thing in itself.

Examples:

- Tässä siirroksena oleva data tarkoittaa dataa, jota siirretään järjestelmästä toiseen.

- Prosessissa siirroksina käytetyt termit viittaavat siirto-operaation vaiheisiin.
