Takajarruissa

Takajarruissa is a Finnish inessive plural form of takajarru, meaning “in the rear brakes” or “within the rear braking system.” It is used to describe location or condition inside the rear brake components on vehicles such as cars and bicycles. As a grammatical form, takajarruissa illustrates how Finnish marks location with the inessive case (-ssa) and number via plural endings.

Etymology and form: takajarru means rear brake; add -ssa to indicate “in” or “inside.” The plural ending -issa yields takajarruissa, i.e., “in the rear brakes.” In written Finnish, the phrase often functions as a modifier or as part of a larger noun phrase describing a brake-related condition or inspection focus. Example usage in maintenance or diagnostic contexts might be along the lines of: Tarkista takajarruissa olevan kuluman taso (Check the level of wear in the rear brakes).

Typical usage: The term appears in automotive and cycling maintenance manuals, vehicle safety discussions, and technical descriptions where the rear braking system is the subject. It is primarily a descriptive phrase rather than a standalone concept, used to localize statements to the rear brake components.
