Dokumentilla

Dokumentilla is the adessive singular form of the Finnish noun dokumentti (document). It is used to indicate location or basis related to a document and translates roughly as “on the document” or “with the document” in English.

In usage, dokumentilla appears frequently in administrative, legal, and archival contexts to refer to information that is on or contained within a document, or to indicate that something is based on the document. Examples: “Dokumentilla on merkittäviä puutteita.” (‘The document has significant deficiencies.’) “Tiedot löytyvät dokumentilta.” (‘The information can be found on the document.’)

Etymology: The Finnish word dokumentti traces back to Latin documentum, with borrowing and adaptation through European languages such as Swedish. Finnish inflectional patterns then produce forms like dokumentilla for the locative case.

Related forms and grammar: Finnish nouns inflect for many cases. For dokumentti, common forms include dokumentin (genitive), dokumentissa (inessive), and dokumenttiin (illative). The adessive form dokumentilla is one of several locative cases used to denote position or basis in relation to the document.

Usage notes: The term is primarily a grammatical inflection used in Finnish grammar and everyday language as part of a broader set of expressions about documents. It does not constitute a distinct concept on its own but rather a case form that situates or uses the document as a reference point, location, or source.
