Jauheissa

Jauheissa is a Finnish inflected form of the noun jauhe, meaning powder or powdered substance. It is the plural locative form, used to express location or state, roughly translating to “in powders” or “in the powders.” In typical usage, jauheissa refers to several powdery substances or to a substance that exists in a powder form rather than as a solid chunk.

Morphology and usage notes: Jauhe is a Finnish -e noun. The plural nominative is jauheet, and the locative plural is jauheissa. The form is used when discussing multiple powders or when describing something in the state of being powdered. Finnish inflection patterns determine how case endings change with number, and jauheissa follows the standard locative plural formation.

Contexts: The term appears mainly in technical or descriptive contexts, including food science (powdered ingredients), pharmaceuticals (powder formulations), cosmetics (face powders), and material science (powders used as starting materials). It conveys that a substance is finely divided or presented in powder form, and it is common in process descriptions involving mixing, grinding, sieving, or weighing of powders.

Example: Aineet ovat jauheissa, ja niitä käsitellään huolellisesti sekoittaen. This illustrates the notion of items existing in powder form and undergoing further processing.
