Eksperimentaalisissa

Eksperimentaalisissa is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective eksperimentaalinen, meaning experimental. It is the inessive plural form, used to describe being in or related to experimental contexts, places, or conditions. The form is typical in academic, scientific, and artistic writing when discussing methods, environments, or approaches that emphasize experimentation.

In usage, eksperimentaalisissa indicates that something takes place within a realm of experimentation rather than following established or conventional procedures. It is commonly found in phrases such as eksperimentaalisissa olosuhteissa (in experimental conditions) or eksperimentaalisissa menetelmissä (in experimental methods). The term can also describe creative work that deliberately explores new techniques or forms, though in everyday language it often connotes formal or semi-formal contexts.

Etymologically, eksperimentaalinen is built from the noun eksperimentti (experiment) with the suffix -aalinen to form an adjective, and the -inen suffix further modified to the inessive plural -issa/-issä to indicate location or context. This combination reflects Finnish morphology where adjectives align with the grammatical case and number of the nouns they modify.

Overall, eksperimentaalisissa is a functional, context-specific expression used to frame discussions about inquiry, testing, and exploratory work in science, engineering, and the arts. See also eksperimentaalinen and kokeellinen for related shades of meaning in Finnish.
