Viitteillä

Viitteillä is a Finnish noun form meaning “with references” or “on references.” It is the adessive plural form of viite (reference, citation). Finnish nouns decline for case and number, and viitteillä marks location or association with references in relation to another noun. The base plural nominative is viitteet; the genitive plural is viitteiden; the adessive plural is viitteillä.

Uses of the term appear primarily in descriptive or bibliographic language when noting that a document or statement is accompanied by references. In everyday Finnish, speakers more often use viite or viitteet to refer to sources, while viitteillä is mainly encountered in formal, stylistic, or linguistic discussions of Finnish grammar. As a grammatical form, it helps illustrate how Finnish marks accompaniment or presence of other elements.

Relation to scholarly practice: in academic writing, sources are cited and listed to support claims, ensure traceability, and prevent plagiarism. While viitteillä is a grammatical form, the broader concept of viitteet encompasses the system of citations and references that readers use to verify information. The exact styling and formatting of references depend on the chosen conventions (for example, style guides) rather than on the morphology of the word itself.
