Tavaratilalla

Tavaratila is a Finnish term referring to the cargo space or luggage compartment in a vehicle, vessel, or aircraft. The word is formed from tavara (goods) and tila (space). Tavaratilalla is the adessive form used to indicate position: “on/at the cargo hold” or “in the cargo space.”

In automobiles, tavaratila denotes the trunk or rear luggage area, including variations in sedans, hatchbacks, and station wagons. Its size and layout affect load capacity, accessibility, and the handling of items. In vans and trucks, tavaratila refers to larger cargo compartments designed for commercial use, often with tie-down points, shelving, and configurable racks.

In ships and airplanes, tavaratila describes dedicated holds where cargo is stored during transport. These holds may be temperature-controlled for perishable goods, and they typically feature specialized securing systems to prevent movement during transit. The condition and organization of the tavaratila influence loading efficiency, safety, and compliance with transportation regulations.

Common considerations for tavaratila include capacity (volume or weight limits), access (doors, hatches, ramps), and cargo securing (straps, nets, lining). Proper loading practices help maintain weight distribution, prevent damage to goods, and reduce the risk of accidents. Regulations in maritime, air, and road transport impose rules for hazardous materials, packaging, labeling, and stacking within tavaratila.

Overall, tavaratila is a key concept in Finnish for describing where goods are stored and how they are managed within different modes of transport. The exact features of a tavaratila depend on the vehicle type and the specific transportation context.
