Saleissa

Saleissa is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “in the halls.” It is the inessive plural form of the noun sali, which denotes a hall, auditorium, or large room, typically within a public building such as a theater, conference center, or museum. The word saleissa is used to express location inside several halls or inside a venue that contains multiple halls.

Usage and meaning

Saleissa is used when referring to being located inside multiple halls or the interior spaces of a building. For example, Näyttely on saleissa means “The exhibition is in the halls” and Konsertti järjestetään saleissa indicates that the concert will take place within the venue’s halls. The form thus conveys spatial relation to internal rooms rather than to a single room.

Grammatical notes

Saleissa is the plural inessive form, contrasting with salissa (singular inessive: in the hall) and salit (nominative plural: halls). Like other Finnish inessive forms, saleissa signals location within a place. It frequently appears in signage, event descriptions, and architectural or planning contexts where multiple internal spaces are relevant.
