Morfologisissa

Morfologisissa is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective morfologinen, meaning morphological. It represents the inessive plural form, used when the noun it modifies is in the plural and in the inessive case (roughly, “in the morphological …” in English). In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they describe in number and case, so the ending -issa marks the plural inessive.

The term is primarily used in linguistic and academic writing to describe aspects related to morphology within a larger noun phrase. It is not a standalone noun, but a grammatical form that appears as part of phrases such as morfologisissa tutkimuksissa or morfologisissa piirteissä. The meaning conveyed is context-dependent, typically referring to things connected with the structure and forms of words as studied in morphology.

Common usage examples include statements like “morfologisissa tutkimuksissa on tarkasteltu sanojen taivutusta,” meaning “in morphological studies, the inflection of words has been examined,” or “morfologisissa piirteissä esiintyy …,” meaning “in morphological features, there appears ….” The form is a normal part of Finnish adjective declension and may appear with any suitable plural noun in the inessive case.
