Protokollilla

Protokollilla is the Finnish inessive form of protokolla, used to indicate that something relates to a protocol or is performed by means of a protocol. Protokolla is a loanword in Finnish with two common senses: a formal record of a meeting (often referred to as a protocol or, in everyday language, minutes) and a set of formal rules for communication or data exchange (a protocol).

In organizational contexts, protokollilla describes information that is documented in the protocol or actions taken according to the protocol. For example, items described protokollilla are those recorded in the protocol of a meeting; decisions described protokollilla are those to be implemented according to the protocol. The form emphasizes documentary or procedural association.

In information technology and communications, protokollilla is used to indicate that operations follow a particular protocol. For instance, data transfer protokollilla TCP/IP means that transmission adheres to the TCP/IP protocol. The adessive form is common in Finnish when indicating the means, basis, or place of reference.

Etymology and usage notes: Protokolla derives from French protocole or protocole, via German and Swedish loanwords, and has been integrated into Finnish with standard inflection patterns such as protokollan, protokollaa, and protokollilla. The word is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form used in contexts involving a protocol or a meeting record. See also protokolla, pöytäkirja, and common protocol names.
