voittoissa

Voittoissa is a Finnish term used to describe a state of profitability, often rendered in English as "in profits" or "profitable." Grammatically, it is the inessive plural form of the noun voitto, meaning profit. The corresponding singular inessive form is voitossa (in the profit).

In usage, voittoissa appears primarily in formal or financial contexts, such as business reporting, accounting summaries, and news coverage of corporate performance. It denotes that profits are present or that a company, department, or period was financially successful. It is distinct from the adjective voittoisa, which describes something as profitable or prosperous in a general sense, whereas voittoissa specifies the state of profits, typically in plural contexts.

Grammatical notes include that voittoissa is used with plural subjects or to refer to profits in general, while voitot is the standard plural noun for profits. The phrase can function as a predicative complement, as in Tilinpäätöksen mukaan yhtiö on voittoissa (According to the year-end report, the company is in profits), or as a modifier in headlines and summaries.

Related terms include voitto (profit), voittoisa (profitable, prosperous), and kannattava (profitable or viable). See also talous (economy/finance) and kirjanpito (accounting).

In sum, voittoissa is a specialized Finnish term used to indicate that profits are present, most often in formal financial discourse.
