Kemistisessä

Kemistisessä is the inessive singular form of the Finnish adjective kemistinen, meaning chemical or related to chemistry. In Finnish, adjectives decline for case, so kemistisessä expresses “in chemistry” or “in a chemical context.” The form is commonly used in technical and academic language to indicate that a statement or activity pertains to chemistry; it is not used as a standalone noun.

Kemistinen derives from kemia (chemistry) with the suffix -inen, forming adjectives that describe relation to the field. It is part of a family that also includes kemiallinen (chemical) and related terms such as kemisti (chemist). In everyday Finnish, kemiallinen is more common for general chemical matters, while kemistinen can emphasize the domain of chemistry or the involvement of chemists. The adverbial form is kemistisesti, meaning “chemically” or “in a chemical manner.”

Usage examples:

- Kemistisessä tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että katalyytti nopeutti reaktiota.

- Kemistisessä laboratoriossa noudatetaan tiukkoja turvallisuusmääräyksiä.

Notes:

- In normal prose, kemistinen and kemistisessä are lowercase unless at the start of a sentence or in a title.

- The term is primarily a stylistic or technical descriptor; for general discussion of chemicals, kemiallinen is typically preferred.
