Sumutteissa

Sumutteissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish noun sumute. The base word sumute refers to a spray or dispersion produced by a sprayer, while the plural nominative form is sumutteet. The inessive plural form sumutteissa expresses location or state, meaning “in the sprays” or “in the spray devices,” and is used when referring to several sprays or spray liquids that are present in a system, container, or process.

The term is mainly encountered in technical, scientific, horticultural, and consumer-product contexts. It can refer to liquids or solutions that are intended to be sprayed, as well as to containers, devices, or environments where such sprays are stored or used. Because sumutteissa marks location within plural sprays, it often appears in descriptions of preparation, handling, or storage procedures involving spraying.

Usage examples (illustrative):

- Käytettävät liuokset ovat sumutteissa. (The solutions used are in the sprays.)

- Sumutteissa olevien nesteiden koostumus vaikuttaa tehoon. (The composition of the liquids in the sprays affects effectiveness.)

Related terms include sumute (spray or spray liquid), sumutin (sprayer), and suihke (spray or mist). Understanding sumutteissa depends on grasping Finnish noun inflection, where inessive plural conveys “in the sprays” within a broader discussion of spraying practices or equipment.
