Pohjakerroksessa

Pohjakerroksessa is a Finnish term used to describe a location on the ground floor of a building. The word combines pohja (base, bottom) and kerros (floor, storey), with the locative suffix -ssa indicating position. It is commonly used in architecture, real estate, and everyday language to specify that a space is at street level or immediately above the ground.

In practical use, pohjakerroksessa refers to spaces that are accessible from the outside or through an entrance at or near ground level. It is typically associated with easier access, often without stairs, and may include direct outdoor entry. The term is distinct from kellari or kellarikerros, which denote a basement or floors below ground level.

Common contexts include real estate listings and building descriptions, such as aura pohjakerroksessa or liiketila pohjakerroksessa. The label helps convey layout and accessibility features that can influence suitability for residents, customers, or visitors.
