Rannikollaan

Rannikollaan is a Finnish word that translates to "on its coast" or "along its coast." It is a possessive form of the word "rannikko," which means coast or coastline. The "-lla" suffix indicates the locative case, signifying location, and the "-an" suffix indicates the third-person possessive suffix, meaning "its." Therefore, "rannikollaan" specifically refers to something being located or situated along the coast of a particular entity, often a country or a body of water.

This word is commonly used in contexts describing geographical features, settlements, or activities that take place by the sea. For instance, one might say "Suomi rannikollaan on kaunis" which translates to "Finland on its coast is beautiful," highlighting the coastal beauty of the country. It can also be used to describe the distribution of something, such as "Kalastus on yleistä rannikollaan" meaning "Fishing is common along its coast." The precise meaning depends on the preceding noun or pronoun that "its" refers to. Without further context, "rannikollaan" implies a general reference to a coast belonging to something previously mentioned or understood.
