Siellä

Siellä is a Finnish adverb meaning there or over there, used to indicate a location away from the speaker or from the current focus of the conversation. It functions as a deictic expression that points to a place within the discourse context, whether that place is visible, known from prior talk, or simply understood from context.

Grammatically, siellä is not inflected and is used with verbs of existence or location as well as with verbs of movement to specify where something is or happens. Common constructions include: "Siellä on vettä" (There is water there), "Käyn siellä usein" (I go there often), and "Olen siellä" (I am there). It contrasts with täällä (here) and tuolla (over there / at some distance), where pilihan among them signals relative distance from the speaker and the focal point.

Nuances and variants: For emphasis or contrast, particles may attach to siellä, producing forms such as "sielläpä se on" (There it is, indeed there) or "sielläkin" (there too / also there). The form "siellähän" adds stronger emphasis, roughly “there, indeed.”

Usage context: vastaan standard Finnish and in everyday speech. Siellä is widely found in spoken language, fiction, and media. As a location adverb, it does not function as a noun and does not have plural forms; its role is to anchor statements to a specific place in space or discourse.
