Kuivissa

Kuivissa is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the inessive plural form of the adjective kuiva, meaning dry, and is used to describe something that is in a dry state or located in dry places.

Morphology: In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case. The base form kuiva is the adjective meaning dry. The inessive singular is kuivassa, and the inessive plural is kuivissa. The form kuivissa conveys the sense of “in the dry” or “in dry places” when describing a plural noun in the inessive.

Usage: Kuivissa appears in phrases such as kuivissa tiloissa (in dry rooms) or kuivissa oloissa (under dry conditions). It is common in descriptive writing, manuals, and contexts where dryness is an attribute or requirement of the described environment or objects.

Notes: Because Finnish adjectives are inflected for number and case, kuivissa cannot stand alone as a noun; it must modify a noun, for example tilat (rooms) or olosuhteet (conditions). It is a routine part of standard Finnish grammar and reflects ordinary morphological patterns rather than a separate lexical entry.
