Tiedoissa

Tiedoissa is a Finnish locative form meaning “in the data” or “in the information.” It is the inessive plural form of tiedot, the plural of tieto, which denotes information or data. In Finnish, the inessive case marks location inside something; in the plural it indicates being inside multiple data items or datasets. The corresponding singular form is tiedossa (“in the information”).

Formation and grammar: Tiedoissa is formed by taking the plural noun tiedot and adding the inessive plural suffix -issa, producing tiedoissa. This form agrees with surrounding elements in number and case, and it functions as a prepositional-like phrase that can act as an object, adverbial, or complement in a sentence. Examples of related forms include tiedossa (singular inessive) and tiedoissa (plural inessive).

Usage: Tiedoissa is commonly used in technical, scientific, or data-analytic contexts to refer to the contents or state of data sets, databases, or information collections. It points to what is contained within the data rather than to external summaries or conclusions. Example sentences: Tiedoissa on virheitä. (There are errors in the data.) Tiedoissa olevat poikkeavuudet voivat affect the analysis. (Anomalies in the data may affect the analysis.)

Notes: As a grammatical form, tiedoissa carries no independent meaning beyond “in the data”; its sense derives from tiedot and the inessive case. It is appropriate in formal writing when discussing data quality, data sources, or information content.
