Millimetreillä

Millimetreillä is a Finnish word that translates to "with millimeters" or "in millimeters" in English. It is a plural dative form of the noun millimetri, which means millimeter. A millimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a meter. It is commonly used to measure small distances or dimensions, such as the thickness of paper, the diameter of a small screw, or the size of a raindrop.

The phrase millimetreillä would typically be used in a sentence to indicate that a measurement is being made or described using millimeters. For example, a sentence might read: "Halkaisija mitattiin millimetreillä" which translates to "The diameter was measured in millimeters." or "Rakennuspiirustukset oli merkitty millimetreillä" meaning "The construction drawings were marked with millimeters."

The use of millimetreillä is common in various contexts in Finland, including construction, manufacturing, science, and everyday life when precise measurements are required. It signifies a level of detail that goes beyond centimeters or meters, offering a finer granularity for quantification. The word itself is a straightforward grammatical construction, denoting the instrumental or locative aspect of measurement using this specific unit.
