slideesityksenä

Slideesityksenä is a Finnish noun that refers to presenting information in the form of slide-based visual aids. The term is composed of the word slide, borrowed from English, and the Finnish noun suffix –ytyksenä, which conveys the notion of a presentation or demonstration. It is commonly used in academic, corporate, and educational contexts to distinguish slide presentations from other forms of communication such as oral talks, written reports, or interactive workshops.

The concept of slideesityksenä gained prominence in Finland during the 1980s and 1990s, paralleling the global rise of presentation software such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote, and open‑source alternatives. Finnish educators incorporated slideesityksenä into curricula to improve visual literacy and to align with international collaborative projects. In professional settings, slideesityksenä is often associated with project pitches, conference talks, and internal meetings where complex data must be conveyed efficiently.

In usage, slideesityksenä is sometimes appended to a broader phrase, for example, "selvityöpäivän slideesityksenä" (as the slide presentation for the briefing day). The term can also serve as a grammatical marker, indicating that the subject has performed a presentation. While the word remains relatively specialized, it is widely understood among Finnish speakers involved in science communication, business, and higher education.
