Puhetiloissa

Puhetiloissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish noun puhetila, meaning a space or room intended for speaking activities. The base is puhe (speech) and tila (space, room). The nominative plural is puhetilat, and puhetiloissa translates as “in the speech spaces” or “in the speaking rooms.”

The term is used in descriptive Finnish to indicate the location or setting for speaking activities. It can refer to physical spaces such as classrooms, language laboratories, libraries, or conference venues designed for presentations, debates, or voice training. Puhetiloissa may appear in descriptions of facilities within schools, universities, and other institutions where oral communication is practiced.

Examples of usage include sentences such as: Puhetiloissa järjestetään viikoittaisia puheharjoituksia, and Puhetiloissa on nykyaikainen äänentoisto. The exact meaning depends on context, but it generally points to spaces dedicated to speaking-related activities rather than to a fixed technical term.

Notes: Puhetiloissa is a standard descriptive phrase in Finnish and is not a specialized term with a narrow technical definition. It is most often used in planning, facility descriptions, or educational texts to indicate where speaking activities occur.
