ylityksinä

Ylityksinä is a Finnish linguistic term that refers to the plural essive form of the noun ylititys. The base noun ylititys denotes the act or state of exceeding, surpassing, or going beyond a boundary. The plural essive form, which uses the suffix -nä in conjunction with the plural stem, yields ylityksinä and can be translated roughly as “as excesses” or “in the state of excesses.” The form is primarily encountered in scholarly Finnish texts and is not common in everyday language.

In usage, ylittyksinä appears in linguistic, sociological, and policy-related writing to discuss multiple instances in which a phenomenon exceeds normative limits. The essive plural expresses a temporary or contextual state, making it suitable for statements about several cases rather than a single instance. This construction helps describe how excesses manifest across different contexts, such as economic decisions, rhetorical approaches, or environmental loads.

Examples:

- Finnish: Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan ylittyksinä ilmeneviä taloudellisia riskejä.

English: The study examines economic risks that manifest as excesses.

- Finnish: Keskustelussa ilmiöt esitettiin ylittyksinä, joita tulisi hillitä.

English: In the discussion, the phenomena were presented as excesses to be restrained.
