tuoreina

Tuoreina is the plural essive form of the Finnish adjective tuore, meaning fresh. The essive case expresses a temporary state or role, roughly translating to "as fresh" or "in the state of being fresh" in English. In Finnish, essive forms describe the condition of referents, and tuoreina is used for multiple items or subjects. The form tuoreina is built from the stem tuore- with the essive suffix -ina, yielding the plural form for the state.

Usage is typical in sentences describing several objects or people in a fresh state. For example, "Marjat olivat tuoreina pöydällä" can be understood as “The berries were fresh on the table.” It can also appear in lists or contexts contrasting states, such as "tuoreina ja mehukkaina" (as fresh and juicy). The singular counterpart of tuoreina is tuoreena.

Related concepts include the essive case in Finnish grammar, which covers similar states for singular nouns, and other verb- or noun-related forms such as the translative tuoreeksi, used to indicate becoming or changing into something. Tuoreina thus exemplifies how Finnish uses case endings on adjectives to express states and roles in plural referents, complementing other case forms in the language.
