Nurmikoilla

Nurmikoilla is the plural adessive form of the Finnish noun nurmikko, meaning "on the lawns" or "on the turf." Nurmikko refers to a lawn or turf area, typically maintained for recreational use or aesthetics. The phrase nurmikoilla is used to specify location when discussing multiple lawn areas or a lawned surface extended over an area.

Linguistic note: In Finnish, locations are often expressed with adessive forms such as -lla/-llä; -illa here indicates a plural area: "nurmikoilla" = on the lawns.

Ecology and land management: Lawns provide habitat for many organisms; mowing height, frequency, fertilization and irrigation affect biodiversity. In biodiversity-friendly practices, longer mowing intervals and planting flower-rich margins increase insect diversity and pollinator presence.

Use in media and literature: In nature writing and gardening journalism, nurmikoilla is used to describe events or phenomena observed on lawns, such as insect activity, moss growth, or the effects of mowing.
