taulukkona

Taulukkona is the essive form of the Finnish noun taulukko, meaning “as a table” or “in table form.” It is used in writing to indicate that information or data are presented in a tabular layout rather than as prose. The form is common in formal, scientific, or technical texts, where clarity of data presentation is important.

Grammatically, taulukkona is formed by adding the essive suffix -na to taulukko. The essive expresses a temporary state or role, here indicating the form in which information is shown. In sentences, taulukkona is often paired with verbs like esitetään or on esitetty: for example, Tutkimuksen tiedot esitetään taulukkona. It may appear in contexts such as “taulukkona seuraavat tiedot” or “seuraavat luvut on esitetty taulukkona liitteessä 2.”

Examples:

- Tutkimuksen tiedot esitetään taulukkona.

- Seuraavat luvut on esitetty taulukkona liitteessä 2.

Notes and nuances:

In everyday narrative Finnish, taulukon, taulukossa, or taulukkomuotoja is often preferred. Taulukkona tends to appear in technical, methodological, or bureaucratic writing where precise data presentation is emphasized. The term signals that readers should interpret the material as organized in a table rather than read as continuous text.
