Katkaisuilla

Katkaisuilla is a Finnish noun phrase formed from katkaisu, meaning interruption, cut, or outage, with the adessive plural ending -illa. As a form, katkaisuilla is used to refer to interruptions or cuts in a context where more than one instance is being considered, or where the interruptions are being treated as a phenomenon occurring with something. The word can describe breaks in services, such as electricity, data connections, or other operational processes, as well as more general breaks in continuity.

The primary senses of katkaisu include the following. In technical and infrastructural contexts, katkaisu refers to an outage or disconnect that temporarily stops a service or function. In industrial or project settings, katkaisu may denote planned or unplanned interruptions to workflows, maintenance windows, or shutdowns. In medical language, katkaisu can be used colloquially to describe amputation or surgical severing, although more formal terms such as amputation (amputaatio) are common in clinical discourse. Figuratively, katkaisu can describe a break in a sequence or process, for example a pause or discontinuation in a plan, routine, or argument.

Grammatically, katkaisuilla is the plural adessive form, used with verbs and constructions that describe location or accompaniment of interruptions, often translating roughly as “with interruptions” or “at interruptions.” The word is closely related to katkaisut (interruptions, cuts) and to related forms such as katkaisu, katkaisut, katkaisulla, and katkaisuilta, depending on case and number.
