Kokouksilla

Kokouksilla is the plural adessive form of the Finnish noun kokous, meaning meetings or assemblies. In Finnish grammar, the adessive case is used to express location or context, often translated as “at” or “on” in English. The plural form kokouksilla combines the plural stem kokoukset with the adessive plural suffix -lla, indicating “at the meetings” or “in the meetings.”

Usage and nuance: Kokouksilla is typically used when discussing something that pertains to multiple meetings, such as logistics, decisions, or activities associated with the gatherings themselves. It can refer to the venues of several meetings or to the collective context in which a sequence of meetings takes place. In formal or administrative writing, kokouksilla helps to express that an issue is examined or discussed across several sessions.

Notes: Depending on nuance, speakers may choose different forms. For emphasis on location or presence at meetings, kokouksilla is appropriate; for time or during the meetings, kokousten aikana or kokouksissa may be preferred. The choice between kokouksilla and other related forms reflects whether the focus is on the location, the events, or the time frame of the gatherings.
