Kondensoidussa

Kondensoidussa is a Finnish inflected form of a participial adjective describing something that exists in a condensed state. It is commonly used in Finnish scientific writing to indicate that a system, substance, or condition is in a condensed phase, as opposed to a gaseous one, for example in the expression “kondensoidussa tilassa” (in the condensed state). The form is typically used with nouns such as tila, aine or järjestelmä to specify the phase of matter being referred to.

The condensed state refers to phases in which particles are closely packed, characteristic of liquids and solids. Condensation is the phase transition from gas to liquid or solid under changes in temperature or pressure. In many texts, the term kondensoidussa tilassa is used to emphasize the phase rather than the particular substance, helping to frame discussion around phase-dependent properties and phenomena.

In practice, the phrase appears in discussions of condensed matter physics, thermodynamics, and physical chemistry, where properties such as crystal structure, electronic behavior, magnetism, and transport differ markedly from those in gaseous phases. The expression assists in describing experimental conditions, theoretical models, and the behavior of materials as they exist in solid or liquid form.

Etymology and usage: the form derives from kondensoida or kondensoitua, with the suffix -oidessa indicating state in the adessive case. It is one of several Finnish terms used to denote phases of matter and is most common in academic Finnish.
