Komissioilla

Komissioilla is the adessive plural form of komissio, a Finnish loanword meaning a formal commission or committee. In Finnish grammar, komissio refers to a body appointed to study, investigate, or make recommendations on a specific matter. The form komissioilla denotes a relationship to multiple commissions or to a context involving those commissions, typically translated as “on/at/with the commissions” in English.

The word komissio entered Finnish from a Slavic or Germanic source related to the concept of a commission or committee, with extensive use in governmental, scientific, and organizational contexts. In Finnish, it is often used alongside valiokunta (parliamentary committee) to describe formal groups tasked with particular duties. While valiokunta is common for regular parliamentary work, komissio conveys a sense of a specialized or temporary investigative body, sometimes with broad or external membership.

Usage notes: komissioilla occurs in constructions where the subject or the location involves more than one commission. For example, in discussions about several commissions’ findings or powers, one might encounter phrases like komissioilla on valtuudet (the commissions have powers) or komissioilla on tehtäviä (the commissions have tasks). In everyday style, writers may prefer singular forms (komissio) or specific named commissions (esimerkiksi valtion komissio) to avoid ambiguity.

See also: valiokunta, komissio (general concept), komissiosta (genitive form). The term is primarily found in formal, governmental, or organizational Finnish and may carry a more technical or institutional nuance than everyday committees.
