suuruisina

Suuruisina is a Finnish grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item. It functions as the plural essive, a case used to express a temporary state or role, here relating to size or magnitude. The base meaning is connected to suuruus, meaning greatness or size, and suuruisina represents how that notion can appear when referring to multiple entities in the sense of “as sizes” or “in the capacities of magnitudes.”

In Finnish, the essive marks a state of being or role, and the plural form is used when the reference is plural. Therefore suuruisina occurs in contexts where several items or categories are described in terms of their size or magnitude as a collective state or role. The exact translation depends on the surrounding sentence, but it can be interpreted as “as sizes,” “as magnitudes,” or “in the capacities of sizes.”

Usage and occurrence: suuruisina is primarily encountered in formal, descriptive, or literary Finnish and in linguistic descriptions of Finnish grammar rather than in everyday speech. It may appear in enumerations or analyses that discuss size-related categories across multiple items.
