Historiallisissa is Finnish for the inessive plural form of the adjective historiallinen, meaning it is used to describe plural nouns in the inessive case. In practice, historiallisissa translates roughly as “in historical [contexts/things],” and it appears in sentences about historical subjects, events, sources, or contexts.

Grammatically, historiallisissa is the plural inessive form of historiallinen. Finnish adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so the ending changes to match plural nouns in the inessive case. For example, historiallinen becomes historiallisessa (singular inessive) and historiallisissa (plural inessive). The word is typically followed by a plural noun in the same case, such as historiallisissa tapahtumissa or historiallisissa lähteissä.

Usage of historiallisissa tends to occur in formal or academic Finnish, especially in histories, historiography, or discussions that compare historical contexts. It emphasizes that the referenced aspects belong to historical times or are interpreted within a historical framework. It does not stand alone as a concept; it requires a plural noun it modifies to convey a complete meaning.

Examples:

- Historiallisissa lähteissä on usein huomioitavia yksityiskohtia. (In historical sources there are often noteworthy details.)

- Historiallisissa tapahtumissa on tärkeää tarkastella syy-seuraussuhteita. (In historical events, it is important to examine cause-and-effect relationships.)

In summary, historiallisissa is a grammatical form used to describe plural, inessive contexts related to history, fitting seamlessly into scholarly Finnish when discussing historical materials, events, or contexts.
