Similarly, a library might have a section dedicated to "kirjailijoilla," referring to books written by specific authors or curated by them. The specific meaning often depends on the surrounding words and the broader context of the sentence. It is a common grammatical construction in Finnish, reflecting the nuanced ways possession and association are expressed in the language.
