Viljelmillä

Viljelmillä is a Finnish noun in the locative plural form of viljelmä, meaning cultivated fields, plots, or plantations. It is used to indicate location, equivalent to “on the cultivation plots” or “on the farmed fields” in English. The term refers specifically to areas of land actively used for agricultural production.

Etymology and form: Viljelmillä is derived from viljelmä, which denotes a cultivated area or plantation, combined with the locative plural suffix -llä/-illä. In Finnish, -llä/-llä marks location, and the plural form viljelmillä indicates multiple cultivation areas. It is not a proper noun and is capitalized only at sentence start.

Usage: Viljelmillä appears in agricultural writing, reports, and descriptive text about farming landscapes. Examples include: Viljelmillä kasvaa viljaa. (Wheat grows on the cultivated fields.) Viljelmillä on tehty monia satoa parantavia viljelykäytäntöjä. (Many yield-improving farming practices have been implemented on the cultivated plots.) The term can also appear in geographical or statistical contexts when distinguishing land use in a region.

See also: viljelmä, viljely, pelto, maatila, maatalous.

Notes: Viljelmillä denotes location on several cultivation areas. For a single plot, the form viljelmällä would be used.
