Pohjoisissa

Pohjoisissa is a Finnish term meaning “in the north” and is used to denote location within northern areas. It is formed from the adjective pohjoinen (north) and the locative mood, indicating position inside or among northern places. In Finnish writing, pohjoisissa commonly appears in travel writing, geography, and descriptive prose to refer to the northern parts of Finland or other northern regions encountered by Finnish speakers.

The phrase does not correspond to an official administrative region; rather, it is a descriptive expression. Depending on the context, pohjoisissa may evoke broad northern landscapes, climates, or cultural characteristics associated with northern areas. It can refer to general northern regions or to a specific locality mentioned in a sentence.

In literature and media, pohjoisissa is sometimes used as a stylistic device to evoke northern imagery, weather, or identity. It may appear in phrases, captions, or occasional titles or headings where the author aims to emphasize distance, remoteness, or a connection to the north within Finnish culture.

Related terms and concepts include pohjoinen (the north) and Finland’s northern regions, such as Lapland. The expression also resonates with broader discussions of Northern Europe and northern identities in Finnish-language contexts.
