Tilanneilla

Tilanneilla is the adessive plural form of the Finnish noun tilanne, meaning “situation” or “state of affairs.” In Finnish grammar, tilanneilla conveys a locational or contextual sense and translates roughly as “in the situations” or “on the occasions,” depending on the sentence. It is a grammatical inflection rather than a standalone concept with its own meaning.

Usage: Tilanneilla is typically used in formal or analytical Finnish when discussing multiple scenarios or contexts. It contrasts with tilanteissa (inessive: “in the situations”), tilanteille (allative: “to the situations”), and with tilanteet (nominative plural: “the situations”). The form is often found in risk assessments, policy analyses, or planning documents that compare different scenarios.

Examples:

- Tilanteilla on erilaisia vaatimuksia. (There are different requirements across the situations.)

- Raportissa käsitellään tilanneilla olevia riskejä. (The report discusses risks present in the situations.)
