Veneissä

Veneissä is the plural inessive form of the Finnish noun vene (boat), meaning “in boats.” It denotes location inside multiple vessels. The corresponding singular form is veneessä (“in the boat”). In Finnish, the inessive plural is formed with the suffix -issä, which uses vowel harmony with the stem.

Usage of veneissä is common in contexts involving boating, harbors, lakes, and archipelagos in Finland, where discussions about groups of boats or locations within boats occur. It can refer to the interior of several boats or to being located among or within a set of vessels.

Examples include: "Veneissä on vettä." (There is water in the boats.) and "Satamassa on paljon veneitä, ja veneissä on varusteita." (There are many boats in the harbor, and the boats have equipment.) The form contrasts with veneessä ("in the boat") and with other case forms such as veneistä (“from the boats”) and veneisiin (“into the boats”), illustrating Finnish location grammar.

In sum, veneissä is a standard locative form used to describe position within multiple boats, a frequent topic in Finnish maritime and leisure contexts.
