Kylmissa

Kylmissa is the ASCII rendering of the Finnish word kylmissä, the inessive plural form of kylmä (cold). The phrase means “in the cold” and is used to describe being in cold conditions or in places characterized by low temperature. In standard Finnish, the suffix -ssä marks the inessive (in, inside), and the plural form kylmissä is used when referring to multiple objects, people, or a general sense of cold environments.

Usage and meaning

Kylmissä is commonly found in weather descriptions, travel writing, and everyday language to indicate location or state related to cold. Examples include phrases such as kylmissä olosuhteissa (in cold conditions) and kylmissä tiloissa (in cold rooms). It can function as part of longer expressions like kylmissä olosuhteissa or kylmissä huoneissa.

Grammar and morphology

Kylmä is the base adjective meaning “cold.” In possessive and case-inflected forms, Finnish adjectives agree with the noun they modify. The inessive plural form kylmissä is formed by adding the inessive plural suffix to the plural stem of the adjective, yielding the sense of “in the cold” when referring to multiple items or a general cold environment.

Pronunciation

In Finnish, kylmissä is pronounced roughly as [ˈky-lmis-sä], with the ä representing a fronted vowel similar to the a in “cat.” The ASCII variant kylmissa omits the diacritic mark.
