Kokoonpanossa

Kokoonpanossa is the inessive form of the Finnish noun kokoonpano, which denotes assembly, configuration, or lineup. The word is used to describe the state of being assembled or the current arrangement of parts, people, or performers.

In electronics and manufacturing, kokoonpano refers to the arrangement of components on a device or the set of parts that have been put together. When a product is in the assembly phase, it can be described as kokoonpanossa. For example, a printed circuit board with all components mounted is part of the kokoonpano, and production reports may state that the board is in kokoonpanossa as assembly proceeds.

In music and performing arts, kokoonpano describes the lineup of musicians or performers. The phrase kokoonpanossa can indicate who is currently in the group, for instance: Bändin kokoonpanossa on uusi basisti, meaning there is a new bassist in the lineup.

Etymology and usage notes: kokoonpano is formed from the verb koota, to assemble, plus a noun-forming element that yields the concept of an arrangement or configuration. The suffix -ssa/-ssä marks the inessive case, used to express location—“in” or “inside” the arrangement. The term is common in technical, industrial, and cultural contexts, and it often appears in reports, descriptions, and discussions of current configurations or lineups.
