Millaisissa

Millaisissa is Finnish inessive plural form of the interrogative determiner millainen, used to ask about the characteristics or qualities of multiple items or subjects. It translates roughly to “in what kinds of” in English and is common in questions and dependent clauses.

Morphology and usage notes: millaisissa is formed from the stem millai- plus the inessive plural ending -issa, and it agrees with a plural noun in the inessive case. The singular counterpart is millaisessa. Related forms include millaisia (partitive plural, “what kinds of”) and other case forms of millainen. In everyday speech and writing, millaisissa is used whenever the speaker refers to multiple things or people in a specific, located sense (“in what kinds of X”).

Examples:

- Millaisissa olosuhteissa työskentelet? (In what kinds of conditions do you work?)

- Millaisissa tilanteissa tämä tapahtuu? (In what kinds of situations does this happen?)

- Millaisissa ryhmissä opetat? (In what kinds of groups do you teach?)

More examples show its versatility with different nouns:

- Millaisissa ympäristöissä lapset voivat oppia parhaiten? (In what kinds of environments can children learn best?)

- Millaisissa käytännön tehtävissä tämä menetelmä toimii? (In what kinds of practical tasks does this method work?)

Notes: Millaisissa is a formal, precise form suitable for questions about plural nouns. It cannot stand alone as a pronoun; it requires a noun phrase following or embedded in a clause, often with prepositions indicating location or context.
