Leikkikentissä

Leikkikentissä is a Finnish grammatical form meaning "in the playgrounds." It is the inessive plural form of leikkikenttä, a compound noun built from leikki ("play") and kenttä ("field" or "area"), referring to a designated area for children's play. The form is used to indicate location inside several playgrounds.

Grammatically, Finnish nouns decline by case and number. The inessive plural suffix -issä attaches to the plural stem leikkikenttä to yield leikkikentissä; the singular inessive is leikkikentässä. Other common related forms include leikkikenttien (genitive plural) and leikkikentillä (adessive plural). Illative forms exist as well, such as leikkikenttään (into the playground) and leikkikenttiin (into the playgrounds).

Usage-wise, leikkikentissä is used when discussing activities, conditions, or locations inside multiple playgrounds. Examples: "Lapset leikkivät leikkikentissä." "Koulun pihalla on useita leikkikenttiä, ja leikkikentissä on kiipeilytelineitä." The form helps specify that the reference concerns more than one playground rather than a single location.
