Tilastokeskuksissa

Tilastokeskuksissa is a Finnish linguistic form meaning “in the statistical offices.” It is the inessive plural form of tilastokeskus, which refers to a statistical office or center. The base tilastokeskus is a compound of tilasto (statistic) and keskus (center). In the plural nominative this becomes tilastokeskukset, and adding the inessive plural suffix -issa yields tilastokeskuksissa, used to indicate location within multiple offices.

The term is mainly a grammatical construction rather than a standalone concept. It denotes being inside or within the premises or activities of several statistical offices, such as those involved in data collection, analysis, or publication. It is commonly used in sentences describing what happens inside these offices or where certain work is carried out.

Examples:

- Tilastokeskuksissa kerätään ja julkaistaan kansallisia tilastoja.

- Tilastokeskuksissa työskentelee tilastotieteilijöitä ja tilastotieteellisiä ammattilaisia.

- Kansainvälinen yhteistyö tapahtuu usein tilastokeskuksissa, joissa koordinoidaan tietojen vaihto.

Notes:

- In Finland the term tilastokeskus typically refers to the national statistical office, Tilastokeskus (Statistics Finland). The plural inessive tilastokeskuksissa can thus appear in contexts discussing multiple offices or the activities of statistical offices in general.

- The form illustrates Finnish locative plural morphology, combining the plural noun tilastokeskukset with the inessive suffix -issa.
