It is used with a plural noun in the adessive case to indicate location or relation, as in phrases such as vaarallisilla paikoilla or vaarallisilla alueilla, which translate to “at dangerous places” or “in dangerous areas.”

Morphology and usage: In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. The adjective vaarallinen takes the adessive plural form vaarallisilla when the noun is plural and in the adessive case. The form cannot stand alone in standard prose; it is part of a larger phrase where a noun follows or is understood from context, for example vaarallisilla paikoilla, vaarallisilla alueilla, or vaarallisilla vesillä.

Common contexts: Vaarallisilla is frequently found in safety notes, guidance, and signage where multiple dangerous locations are discussed. It also appears in descriptive sentences referring to general risk in certain environments, such as construction sites, waterways, or industrial areas. Examples include: Vaarallisilla alueilla noudatetaan erityistä varovaisuutta. Vaarallisilla vesillä on syytä käyttää pelastusliivejä.
