Kokoelmilla

Kokoelmilla is the plural adessive form of kokoelma, a Finnish noun meaning collection. The word functions to indicate location and is used to talk about objects, works, or materials belonging to or located in multiple collections. The corresponding singular form is kokoelmalla, meaning “on the collection.”

Formation and meaning: The base kokoelmat (nominative plural) combines with the adessive suffix -lla to produce kokoelmilla, translating roughly as “on the collections” or “in the collections.” This form marks where something is located or where activities related to the collections take place. It is a standard part of Finnish locative grammar and can appear in catalog descriptions, museum labels, and academic writing about collections.

Usage: Kokoelmilla is used to refer to multiple collections in a locative sense. It often appears in sentences describing possession, presence, or actions within those collections. It is common in contexts such as libraries, archives, museums, and digital collections to indicate that items are found within or part of those collections.

Examples:

- Kokoelmilla on runsaasti teoksia. (There are many works in the collections.)

- Näyttely esittelee teoksia kokoelmilla. (The exhibition presents works from the collections.)

- Tutkimus keskittyy kokoelmilla sijaitseviin materiaaleihin. (The study focuses on materials located within the collections.)
