Kursseissa

Kursseissa is a Finnish word that functions as the inessive plural form of kurssi, meaning “in the courses” or “within the courses.” It denotes location or state inside multiple courses and is used to talk about activities, content, or participation within those courses. In Finnish grammar, the inessive case marks location inside something, and when applied to the plural form of kurssi, it yields kursseissa.

The term is commonly used in educational and training contexts, such as universities, adult education, or online programs, to describe what happens inside the courses, what the courses contain, or who is participating. For example, sentences like “Kursseissa on paljon luentoja” (There are many lectures in the courses) or “Olen mukana useissa kursseissa” (I’m involved in several courses) are typical.

Kursseissa contrasts with kurssissa, the singular inessive meaning “in the course,” and with other plural forms used for possessive or genitive constructions, such as kurssejen (of the courses). The term thus functions primarily at the level of location and participation within multiple courses, rather than referring to a single course.
