Järjestelmissaan

Järjestelmissaan is a Finnish word meaning “in their systems.” It is used to refer to the systems belonging to a group of people or organizations, and to describe something located within those systems. The form is a result of Finnish agglutinative morphology, combining a noun with possessive and locative suffixes.

Morphology and formation: The base noun is järjestelmä (system). By adding the third-person possessive suffix -nsä, you obtain järjestelmänsä, meaning “their system” or, in broader usage, “their systems.” The inessive case suffix -ssä indicates location “in.” When the possessive and the inessive are combined, the pronunciation often yields a form such as järjestelmissään, with spellings varying due to assimilation. The version you provided, järjestelmissaan, represents this same structural idea, reflecting how suffixes fuse in continuous Finnish pronunciation and spelling.

Usage: Järjestelmissaan is typically used in analyses of information technology, administrative frameworks, or organizational processes to mean that something exists within those groups’ own systems. It contrasts with järjes­telmänsä (their system) in a singular sense or with järjestelmissä (in their systems, without the explicit possessive) in more general statements. The word demonstrates how Finnish encodes possession and location within a single word through suffixal chaining.

Examples: Organisaation järjestelmissaan on useita haavoittuvuuksia. Tutkimus osoitti ongelmia järjestelmissaan, erityisesti vanhoissa turvallisuusportaissa. These sentences illustrate referring to vulnerabilities or issues contained in “their systems.”
