Munuaisella

Munuaisella is the adessive singular form of the Finnish noun munuainen, meaning kidney. The word is used to express location, roughly translating to "on the kidney" or "at the kidney." It appears in anatomical, medical, and everyday language when describing where something is located or where a symptom occurs.

Usage examples include statements such as “Kipu on munuaisella,” which means “The pain is on the kidney,” and phrases describing location in the body, for example “munuaisen alueelta” to indicate the area around the kidney. In broader contexts, munuaisella can be part of larger descriptive phrases about organs, symptoms, or procedures pertaining to the kidney.

Grammatical notes: munuaisella is the single-adessive form, used to mark a location on or at the kidney. The plural adessive form is munuaisilla, meaning “on the kidneys.” Other related forms include munuaisen (genitive: the kidney’s) and munuaiselle (illative: to the kidney). Finnish noun cases are highly productive for signaling location, direction, and relation to body parts, and munuaisella follows the same pattern as other body-part nouns.
