Käsitteellä

Käsitteellä is the adessive singular form of the Finnish noun käsite, meaning concept or notion. In Finnish grammar, the adessive case marks location on or at something, or a context in which something is used or discussed. Therefore, käsitteellä is used to refer to a specific concept in a sentence, for example when a text discusses the concept rather than its instances.

In scholarly writing, käsitteellä is common when analyzing or arguing about a concept’s definition, scope, or relationships. For instance, Esimerkiksi: Käsitteellä 'oikeudenmukaisuus' on useita määritelmiä. This usage helps distinguish between the concept itself and particular ideas or examples that fall under that concept.

Morphology and usage: The form is created by attaching the adessive suffix -llä to the noun käsite, resulting in käsitteellä. The phrase is a standard part of Finnish noun inflection and is used across disciplines such as philosophy, linguistics, and semantics to frame discussions about theory, terminology, or methodological assumptions.
