Parkeissa

Parkeissa is a Finnish word that means “in parks.” It is the inessive plural form of a noun that would refer to a park or parks, and it is used to indicate location inside multiple park areas. In Finnish, the inessive case expresses “inside” or “in”, and the plural ending shows that multiple parks are involved. The form parkeissa demonstrates how the inessive plural is created by attaching the suffix -issa to the stem.

Usage and notes

Parkeissa is not a common everyday synonym for “parks” in standard Finnish. The most typical word for park is puisto, and the standard plural inessive would be puistoissa. Parkeissa can appear in language-learning examples, discussions about borrowed or regionally used terms, or in contexts where a nonstandard or hypothetical noun parke- is being referenced. It may also appear in descriptions that compare different ways to express location in Finnish or in translations that aim to preserve a specific nuance of meaning.

Examples
