Velkakirjoissa

Velkakirjoissa is the inessive plural form of velkakirja, a Finnish term meaning promissory note. The phrase is used to refer to content, scope, or location within promissory notes, rather than to the notes as physical objects alone.

Etymology and grammar: Velkakirja consists of velka (debt) and kirja (book or note). In the nominative plural it becomes velkakirjat, while the inessive plural form is velkakirjoissa, indicating “in the promissory notes.” This form is common in Finnish legal and financial texts when describing what the documents contain or how they are structured.

Usage: Velkakirjoissa appears in sentences that evaluate or summarize the information found inside promissory notes. For example, it can introduce clauses about what details are recorded in these documents, such as amounts, due dates, interest, or signatures. It is typically used in formal or technical writing rather than in everyday speech.

Examples:

- Velkakirjoissa on mainittu lainan summa, eräpäivä ja korot. (In the promissory notes, the loan amount, due date, and interest are listed.)

- Arvioiden mukaan velkakirjoissa esiintyvät epäselvät ehdot voivat aiheuttaa kiistoja. (According to assessments, unclear terms found in the promissory notes may cause disputes.)
