Vartaloperusteessa

Vartaloperusteessa is a term used in Finnish linguistics to refer to the inessive form of the noun vartaloperuste, meaning the place inside or within the stem base of a word. The concept belongs to the study of word formation and inflection, where researchers analyze how a word's core part (the stem or vartalo) supports derivational and inflectional processes.

In linguistic descriptions, vartaloperusteakanan or vartaloperuste refers to the base form that serves as the source for affixes and for the creation of related forms. The inessive form, vartaloperusteessa, signals a position or state inside that stem base, and it is used primarily in theoretical discussions, grammars, and dictionaries to indicate internal structure rather than surface pronunciation or external endings.

The term is typically encountered in academic or educational contexts rather than everyday language. It is related to other Finnish linguistic concepts such as vartalo (stem), perusmuoto (base or dictionary form), and ending (päätteen), as part of describing how words are built and modified. Vartaloperusteessa helps clarify statements about where certain morphological changes occur within a word’s internal structure.

Because vartaloperusteessa is a specialized term, it appears mainly in linguistic analyses, grammars, and scholarly writing about Finnisih morphology. Outside of such contexts, speakers are unlikely to use the form explicitly, and it does not correspond to a common everyday expression.
