Konsernilla

Konsernilla is the adessive singular form of the Finnish noun konserni, meaning a corporate group or conglomerate. In Finnish, the adessive case is used to indicate location or possession with verbs like olla (to have) and to describe attributes belonging to someone or something. Therefore konsernilla is commonly used to refer to something that belongs to or is associated with the corporate group, or to describe the group’s activities or resources.

In practical use, konsernilla is most often found in business reporting and media to express possession. For example, konsernilla on useita tytäryhtiöitä means the corporate group has several subsidiaries. It can also denote resources, obligations, or plans belonging to the group, as in konsernilla on velvoitteita (the group has obligations). The phrase is understood as referring to the parent company or the entire corporate group rather than to a single subsidiary.

Distinguish konsernilla from konsernissa, which means “in the group” or “within the corporate group” and emphasizes location rather than possession. Context often clarifies which sense is intended, but konsernilla almost always signals possession, affiliation, or resources of the group.

Etymology: konserni + -lla, the adessive suffix. This form aligns with Finnish grammar rules for expressing ownership or association in clauses with olla, such as minulla on or konsernilla on.
