Antennissa

Antennissa is the inessive singular form of the Finnish noun antenni (antenna). It means “in the antenna” or “inside the antenna” and is used to indicate a location within the physical structure of an antenna or its housing.

Formation and spelling: In Finnish, the inessive case is formed with the suffix -ssa or -ssä. For antenni, the form becomes antennissa, preserving the stem’s double n. The word is used to state a location rather than a direction or ownership.

Usage: Antennissa is commonly used in technical writing and everyday speech when describing where a component, fault, or object is located relative to an antenna. It answers questions of location such as missä? (where?).

Examples: Laite on antennissa. (The device is in the antenna.) Vika löytyi antennissa. (The fault was in the antenna.)
