SUVissa

Suvissa is a term that can appear in Finnish-language usage, but it does not have a single, fixed definition in English-language reference works. The spelling can reflect different bases and grammatical functions, depending on context.

In Finnish, the same form can arise from different word stems. If suvissa is derived from suvi, a poetic or literary word for summer, it could be interpreted as a locative plural meaning “in the summers” or “in summer seasons.” If it is derived from suku, the Finnish word for family or lineage, suvissa could function as a locative plural meaning “in the lineages” or “within the families,” a construction that might appear in genealogical or kinship discussions.

The suffix -ssa/-ssä in Finnish marks location or containment, and the exact form of the stem adapts according to phonological rules. Because of this, suvissa serves as an example of how meaning in Finnish can shift with context and with which base word is intended.

Suvissa is primarily relevant to discussions of Finnish grammar and word-formation. In ordinary conversation, speakers would typically use more explicit wording to convey whether they mean a temporal sense (summer seasons) or a lineage sense (families).
