Kansallisilla

Kansallisilla is a Finnish linguistic form derived from the adjective kansallinen, meaning national. The word kansallisilla is the adessive plural form used when a noun that denotes a plural or collective entity is described as being at or belonging to the national level. It is not a standalone noun, but a grammatical construction that appears in sentences to indicate scope, jurisdiction, or context at the national level. The corresponding singular form is kansallisella, and other related forms include kansallisin and kansallisia depending on number and case.

In usage, kansallisilla commonly appears in formal writing, government reports, policy discussions, and academic contexts. It often modifies nouns referring to levels, actors, or activities, such as tasoilla (levels) or toimijat (actors): for example, kansallisilla tasoilla tehtävät päätökset (decisions made at the national level) or kansallisilla toimijoilla on vastuu (national actors have responsibility). The form helps distinguish national scope from regional (alueellisilla) or local (paikallisilla) contexts. The phrase can appear with both plural and singular nouns, changing spelling accordingly to fit the case and number.

Kansallisilla does not denote a specific organization, place, or entity. Instead, it is a grammatical tool used in Finnish to express national-scale context across various domains such as governance, education, and culture. Related terms include kansallinen (national), alueellinen (regional), and paikallinen (local).
