Atomeilla

Atomeilla is a Finnish grammatical form of the noun atomi meaning "on the atoms" or "at the atoms." It is the plural adessive case, used to indicate location or context at the atomic level. In Finnish, the adessive case conveys location with on/at/about, and the plural form applies to multiple atoms, yielding "atomeilla." The form is common in scientific and technical writing, but may appear in general prose when discussing phenomena that occur at atomic scales. In contrast to the singular "atomilla" (on the atom), "atomeilla" emphasizes a collective or distributed context across several atoms or at the level of atoms as a whole.

Usage examples: "Tutkimus tarkastelee atomeilla tapahtuvia vuorovaikutuksia." "Kuvauksessa käytettiin atomeilla mitattuja parametreja." "Materiaali käyttäytyi odotetulla tavalla atomeilla." The term can also appear in phrases that translate to "at the atomic scale" or "at the level of atoms."

Etymology and form: derived from the noun atomi with the Finnish plural adessive suffix -eilla (-illa). The singular adessive is atomilla; the plural adessive is atomeilla.
