Sarjoilla

Sarjoilla is the plural adessive form of the Finnish noun sarja, meaning series. In Finnish, the adessive case is used to indicate location or association with something, and the plural form sarjoilla refers to multiple series. The form can appear in sentences that discuss several serial works, groups of series, or characteristics shared across more than one series.

Morphology and related forms: The base noun is sarja (a series). The singular adessive is sarjalla (on the series), while the plural adessive is sarjoilla (on the series [plural] or in relation to several series). In compound phrases, sarjoilla often combines with other words, as in televisiosarjoilla (on television series) or tied to multiple series in discussions about media, literature, or data sets.

Usage: Sarjoilla is common in contexts where multiple series are being considered, compared, or described. Examples include media analysis, literary studies, and cataloging of works that exist as part of several series. Example sentences: Sarjoilla on pitkä historia televisiossa. (Series have a long history on television.) Useilla sarjoilla on samankaltaisia piirteitä. (Several series share similar features.) The adessive plural marks a topic or attribute that applies across more than one series rather than to a single series.

Etymology and grammar: Sarjoilla is formed by adding the plural adessive suffix -illa to the stem of sarja, with the typical phonological adjustment that occurs in some plural forms (from ja- to jo- in the stem). See also Finnish grammar on cases and noun inflection, and the noun sarja.
