Asianomaisessa

Asianomaisessa is a Finnish term used primarily in legal and administrative language. It functions as an inessive modifier meaning “in the matter” or “in the case at hand,” indicating that a statement, document, or provision concerns the subject under consideration. The form derives from the noun asia (matter, affair) with the suffix -mainen (pertaining to) and the inessive ending -ssa/-ssä, yielding a construction that situates something within the matter being discussed.

In practical use, asianomaisessa appears in phrases such as asianomaisessa oikeudenkäynnissä (in the lawsuit in question) or asianomaisessa asiakirjassa (in the relevant document). It is commonly found in court rulings, administrative decisions, and other formal writings where precise scope or relevance must be stated. The term is part of a broader family of legal expressions related to the matter at issue and is closely related to the idea of the party or subject involved in a case, though the exact sense depends on context.

Because asianomaisessa is a formal, jurisdiction-specific expression, it may seem archaic or overly formal in everyday Finnish. For readers unfamiliar with legal phrasing, context is essential to determine whether the phrase means “in the matter” generally or specifically “concerning the case at hand.”
