Konkreettisessä

Konkreettisessä is the inessive singular form of the Finnish adjective konkreettinen, meaning concrete, tangible, or practical, as opposed to abstract or theoretical. The term is used to describe aspects of reality that can be perceived, observed, or applied in practice.

Konkreettisessa is typically used with a noun in the inessive case, often in phrases such as "konkreettisessä mielessä" (in the concrete sense / in practical terms), "konkreettisessa merkityksessä" (in a concrete sense), or "konkreettisessa muodossa" (in a tangible form). The form signals a shift from general or abstract discussion to specific, observable details.

Etymology: konkreettinen derives from a European linguistic tradition rooted in the idea of becoming a solid, perceptible reality, with ties to Latin concretus and related borrowings. In Finnish usage, konkreettinen has come to cover both material concreteness and empirical, real-world applicability or evidence.
