Journalistisissa

Journalistisissa is a Finnish grammatical form and not a standalone concept. It is the inessive plural form of the adjective journalisticinen/journalistinen (journalistinen means “journalistic”). The form is used to describe a plural noun in the inessive case, for example in phrases like journalistisissa artikkeleissa, meaning “in journalistic articles.”

In practical use, journalistisissa modifies plural nouns referring to journalism-related content or practices. Common contexts include media studies, journalism critique, and linguistic descriptions of Finnish grammar. For example, journalistisissa teksteissä would translate to “in journalistic texts.” The form signals that the reference is within the realm or domain of journalism and is applied to the plural noun it describes.

Orthographically, journalistisissa results from combining the stem journalistis- with the inessive plural suffix -ssa/-ssä. The ending creates the characteristic double-s sequence in many phrases, reflecting how adjectives inflect to agree with a plural noun in the inessive case. It is used primarily in written Finnish, including academic writing, journalism analysis, and descriptive grammar explanations.
