Tällaisissa

Tällaisissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish demonstrative adjective tällaISTA/tällaistä, commonly written as tällaista or tällaisten? It is derived from the word tällaista meaning “such” or “this kind of.” In everyday Finnish, tällaista/tällainen indicates a kind or type, and tullaisissa is the form used when referring to multiple items or situations in which that kind applies.

Usage and grammar: Tällaisissa is an adjective-like form that accompanies plural nouns in the inessive case, equivalent to “in such …” or “in these kinds of …” in English. It is typically followed by a plural noun in the same case, for example, situations, places, or conditions. Common constructions include tällaisten tilanteiden, tällaisten paikkojen, and tällaisten olosuhteiden, with inessive plural forms such as tällaissa, tällaississa? The standard, clear usage is to attach tällaiseen to a following noun in the appropriate case, for example: Tällaisissa tilanteissa on tärkeää pysyä rauhallisena. This means “In such situations, it is important to stay calm.”

Relation to other forms: tällaista (partitive singular), tällainen (nominative singular), tällaista (partitive), tällaiset (nominative plural), tällaista? are related forms that share the same stem tälla- and convey “such” across different numbers and cases.
