Makkaroissa

Makkaroissa is a Finnish noun form meaning “in the sausages.” It is the plural inessive case of the noun makkara, which refers to sausage or a sausage product. Inessive is used to indicate location or state inside something, so makkaroissa answers the question where: inside the sausages or within multiple sausages.
