Praksisissa

Praksisissa is a Finnish noun form meaning "in practice" or "in the praxis." It is the inessive form of the noun praksis, borrowed from the concept praxis found in philosophy, sociology, and related fields. The term is most commonly used in formal or academic contexts to refer to how ideas, theories, or plans are realized in real-world action rather than in abstract discussion.

The word is typically employed in discussions about the relationship between theory and practice, implementation, and the conditions under which actions are carried out. It signals the actual functioning of procedures, policies, or hypotheses when applied to real situations. For example: "Teoria on hyvä, mutta praksisissa ratkaisut riippuvat resursseista." "Koulutuksessa painotetaan, että oppiminen tapahtuu praksisissa, ei pelkästään luennoilla." In Finnish discourse, praksisissa often contrasts with more theoretical language and underscores practical constraints.

Usage notes: in everyday speech, speakers more commonly use the adverbial form käytännössä to express a similar idea. "Praksisissa" tends to appear in written, formal, or scholarly texts. The concept is also central to discussions of praxis as a philosophical or methodological idea, emphasizing the participatory loop between thought and action and how social and practical contexts shape outcomes.
