Eripituisilla

Eripituisilla is a Finnish adjective form meaning “with varying lengths” or “of varying length.” It is the adessive plural form of eripituisinen, used to describe plural nouns in contexts where the objects have different lengths. The expression is common in technical, logistical, and descriptive writing in Finnish.

Morphology and usage: The root eripituis- combines eri- “different” with pituinen “long.” The base adjective eripituisinen takes standard Finnish inflection, and in the plural adessive it becomes eripituisilla. This form is used when the noun it modifies is plural and in the adessive case, often indicating location, means, or context (for example, “eripituisilla köysillä” = with cords of varying lengths).

Typical contexts: Eripituisilla is used to convey variability in the length of items involved in a process, design, or description. It often appears in product specifications, inventory notes, construction or shipping descriptions, and other factual writing where precise uniformity cannot be assumed. The phrase is also used in more general prose to describe scenes or arrangements that include elements of differing lengths.

Examples:

- Eripituisilla köysillä sidottu paketti sai helposti liikuteltua. (A package tied with cords of varying lengths was easily moved.)

- Hyllyjärjestelmä on suunniteltu eripituisilla esineillä varustettavaksi. (The shelving system is designed to accommodate items of varying lengths.)
