suorituksin

Suorituksin is a Finnish noun form related to the word suoritus, which broadly means performance, execution, or completion. Suorituksin itself is a plural inflection that appears in certain grammatical or stylistic contexts to convey a sense of means, instrument, or manner connected to performances or completions. In everyday modern Finnish, this exact form is uncommon, and other constructions are typically used to express similar ideas.

Usage and role in Finnish

Suorituksin is most often encountered in historical texts, formal or legal language, or literary uses where older or more elaborate inflectional patterns are preserved. In contemporary standard Finnish, the instrumental or means sense is usually expressed with periphrastic forms or with other case patterns, such as suorituksin avulla (by means of performances) or suorituksin perustein (on the basis of performances). The form thus functions as a specialized or archaic variant rather than a common everyday form.

Morphology and origin

The base term is suoritus (performance, completion). Suorituksin is a plural inflectional form that, in Finnish, has been described in some references as part of the instrumental or means-oriented use found in older language varieties or certain dialects. The suffix -in in this sense is a historical or register-specific adaptation rather than a productive modern suffix in standard Finnish. Because of its rarity outside of specific texts, suorituksin is typically encountered with guidance from dictionaries or linguistic descriptions of Finnish inflectional patterns.
