Sivulla

Sivulla is a Finnish locative form derived from the noun sivu, meaning page. It corresponds to the adessive case, indicating location on a surface, specifically “on the page.” In Finnish grammar, sivulla functions as a postpositional form that helps locate information within documents or on virtual pages.

Linguisticly, sivulla is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form. It is formed by adding the adessive suffix -lla to sivu, and it is used to describe where something can be found or exists within a page or screen. The wording is common in instructional, academic, and publishing contexts, where page references guide readers to specific information.

Usage and contexts include printed books, manuals, catalogs, and digital documents such as PDFs and e-books. Typical phrases include lisätietoja sivulla 12 (more information on page 12) and ohjeet löytyvät sivulla 7 (the instructions are on page 7). In websites or online documents, sivulla may refer to a page number or a fixed screen page depending on how the document is formatted.

Sivulla also appears in combinations with other numbers or section references, functioning as a standard navigational cue rather than a concept with independent meaning. The term is widely understood by Finnish readers and is appropriate in formal, educational, and informational writing.
