Hallinnoissa

Hallinnoissa is a Finnish linguistic term used in administrative and governance contexts. It is the inessive plural form of hallinto, meaning “in administrations” or “within administrations.” The form is used when referring to activities, structures, or conditions that occur inside several organizations or levels of governance, such as state and municipal administrations.

Morphology: hallinto means administration or governance. The plural nominative is hallinnot, and the inessive plural is hallinnoissa, formed with the stem hallinno- plus the inessive plural suffix -issa. This suffix expresses location “in” and is applied to plural nouns in Finnish.

Usage: The term is common in formal writing, policy analyses, legal texts, and comparative studies of public administration. It is not typically used in everyday speech outside specialist discussions, but it appears in reports describing conditions across different administrations.

Examples:

- Sekä valtion että kuntien hallinnoissa on tapahtunut muutoksia.

- Hallinnoissa käytetään uusia tietojärjestelmiä hallinnon digitalisaatiossa.
