Synteettisessä

Synteettisessä is the inessive singular form of the Finnish adjective synteettinen, meaning "synthetic" or "artificial". As an inflected adjective, synteettisessä is used to agree with a noun in the inessive case, conveying the sense of "in" or "within" something described as synthetic (for example, "synteettisessä muodossa" — "in synthetic form").

Morphology and grammar: the base adjective synteettinen takes the inessive ending -ssä to form synteettisessä. Like other Finnish adjectives, it agrees with the head noun in case and number, so a plural inessive would be synteettisissä. The choice of vowel and consonant patterns follows Finnish vowel harmony and consonant gradation rules applicable to the adjective stem.

Usage and meaning: synteettisessä appears in scientific, technical and everyday contexts where materials, processes, or properties are characterized as produced by synthesis rather than occurring naturally. Typical collocations include synteettisessä kemiassa (in synthetic chemistry), synteettisessä muodossa (in synthetic form), and synteettisessä materiaalissa (in synthetic material). It can function attributively (modifying a noun) or as part of a nominal phrase serving adverbial or locative roles.

Translation and equivalents: in English contexts, synteettisessä is usually rendered as "in synthetic [X]" or "within the synthetic [X]". Its precise translation depends on the noun it modifies and the broader sentence context.
