Tilaisuuksissa

Tilaisuuksissa is the plural inessive form of the Finnish noun tilaisuus, meaning an event or occasion. The form indicates location or participation in multiple events, roughly translating to “in the events” or “at events.” The corresponding singular inessive form is tilaisuudessa.

The term is used in both written and spoken Finnish to discuss what happens at events, such as programs, rules, etiquette, or services available. It is common in formal contexts like conferences, ceremonies, public gatherings, as well as in school or community events. Tilaisuuksissa often appears in impersonal or generalized statements about typical practices, provisions, or expectations that apply across several events.

Examples of usage include: Tilaisuuksissa noudatetaan pukeutumiskoodia. (At events, a dress code is observed.) Tilaisuuksissa on yleensä ohjelma ja kahvitarjoilua. (There is usually a program and coffee service at events.) Puhujat pidättävät mielipiteitään tilaisuuksissa.Joskus tilaisuuksissa järjestetään esteetön pääsy kaikille osallistujille. (Sometimes events are arranged to be accessible to all participants.)

Related terms include tilaisuus (an event or occasion) and various compound forms that describe specific types of gatherings. The phrase tilaisuuksissa helps situate actions, provisions, or regulations within multiple events rather than a single occasion, making it common in planning documents, event announcements, and etiquette guidelines.
