Lausunnossa

Lausunnossa is the inessive singular form of the Finnish noun lausunto, meaning a statement, declaration, or expert opinion. In Finnish grammar, the inessive case marks location or content and yields lausunnossa: “in the statement” or “in the opinion.” The plural inessive form would be lausunnoissa (“in the statements”).

The term is commonly used in formal and official contexts to refer to content contained within a document, report, or statement. For example, the phrase “Lausunnossa todetaan, että projektin aikataulu on edelleen pidettävissä” translates to “The statement notes that the project timeline is still feasible.” It is also used in expressions like “lausunnon mukaan” (“according to the statement”), where the genitive lausunnon indicates possession.

In usage, lausunnossa functions as a noun form anchoring statements about what a source or document says. It frequently appears in legal, regulatory, and administrative text, as well as in journalism, when quoting or summarizing official content. The form helps to specify that the information comes from the statement itself rather than from the speaker’s own words.

Related concepts include the base noun lausunto (the statement itself) and phrases such as todistajan lausunto (witness statement) or asiantuntijan lausunto (expert opinion). The term is a standard part of Finnish formal writing and is understood in contexts ranging from bureaucratic reports to court documents.
