Rakennuksella

Rakennuksella is the adessive singular form of the Finnish noun rakennus, meaning a building. In Finnish grammar, this form is used to indicate a location at or on a building, or in broader contexts to refer to something associated with a building. It functions as a case-based noun form rather than as a separate lexical item.

Common uses include stating location or presence on a building, as in signs or architectural descriptions, and attributing features to a building. For example, a sentence like Rakennuksella on useita kerroksia means that the building has several floors. Another example is Kyltti on rakennuksella, which conveys that a sign is on the exterior of the building. The form can also appear in contexts where the building possesses or hosts something, though more natural constructions often use other cases or verbs.

Comparison with related cases helps clarify its meaning. Inessive rakennuksessa means inside the building, elative rakennuksesta means from the building, allative rakennukselle means to the building, and ablative or comitative-like forms can express related relations. The adessive rakennuksella thus marks a surface-related or locational relation to the building rather than interior proximity or movement toward it.

Usage notes: rakennuksella is most common in descriptive or signage contexts and in sentences describing attributes or locations tied to the building itself. As with other Finnish case forms, the exact nuance depends on the surrounding verbs and prepositions.
