Lauluissa

Lauluissa is a Finnish word that functions as the inessive plural form of laulu, meaning “in the songs.” In Finnish grammar, the inessive case expresses location or state “inside” or “within,” and the plural form indicates multiple items. Therefore, lauluissa translates roughly to “in the songs” or “within the songs” when referring to a group or corpus of songs.

Usage and context

The term is commonly used in linguistic, literary, and music-analytical contexts. It is employed to discuss content that appears across several songs, such as recurring themes, imagery, motifs, or lyrics. In academic writing, one might analyze how certain values, emotions, or cultural references are presented lauluissa, comparing different works within a collection or tradition.

Examples

- Lauluissa toistuvat teemat kertovat kansanperinteestä. (The themes that recur in the songs tell of folk tradition.)

- Tutkimus tarkastelee lauluissa esiintyviä arvoja. (The study examines the values appearing in the songs.)

- Lauluissa käytetty kieli kuvastaa aikakauden äänimaisemaa. (The language used in the songs reflects the era’s sonic landscape.)

Notes

Lauluissa is a functional, not a proper noun, and its use is predominantly descriptive and analytical. It may appear in discussions of song lyrics, lyric poetry, or a body of musical works, especially in Finnish-language scholarship.
