Kohdeluetteloissa

Kohdeluetteloissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish compound kohdeluettelo, meaning a catalog or list of targets, objects, or items. The form indicates a location or context, namely “in the target lists” or “within the target catalogs,” and is used in technical or formal writing to refer to items that are contained in multiple such lists.

Linguistic background and morphology: kohdeluettelo is formed from kohde (target, object) and luettelo (list, catalog). In plural nominative it becomes kohdeluettelot, and the inessive plural suffix -issa/-issä yields kohdeluetteloissa. The choice of -issa/-issä follows Finnish vowel harmony rules, with the exact form depending on the preceding vowels of the root. The phrase kohdeluetteloissa thus grammaticalizes the idea of items located inside several target lists.

Typical usage: kohdeluetteloissa appears in technical, managerial, or methodological texts where it is important to discuss or reference objects that are enumerated within one or more lists. It can appear in project plans, risk assessments, inventory documentation, or data catalog descriptions. Common constructions include kohdeluetteloissa olevat kohteet (the targets that are in the target lists) and kohdeluetteloissa olevien tietojen päivittäminen (updating of information contained in the target lists).

Examples:

- Projektissa kohdeluetteloissa olevat kohteet priorisoidaan ja seurataan erillisillä mittareilla.

- Jähnetyssä järjestelmässä kohdeluetteloissa oleva tieto päivitetään viikoittain.
