Sopeutumisessa

Sopeutumisessa is a Finnish grammatical form used to express being “in adaptation” or “in the process of adaptation.” It is the inessive case of the noun sopeutuminen, which means adaptation or adjustment to circumstances, conditions, or environments. The base concept comes from the verb sopeutua, meaning to adapt, with the noun-forming suffix -minen and the case ending -ssa to indicate state or location.

It appears across disciplines such as psychology, sociology, ecology, education, and organizational studies. It often occurs in phrases like sopeutumisessa uuteen ympäristöön (in adapting to a new environment) or sopeutumisessa kulttuuriin (in adapting to a culture).
