Viljoilla

Viljoilla is the plural adessive form of the Finnish noun vilja, meaning grain or cereals. It is used to indicate location or context involving more than one grain, and is typically translated as “on the grains” or “at the cereals.”

Morphology: The base vilja takes the adessive suffix -lla/-llä in the plural to form viljoilla. This reflects Finnish vowel harmony and assimilation, producing the form used when speaking about multiple grains as a set. The corresponding singular form is viljalla, meaning “on the grain.”

Usage: Viljoilla appears in agricultural writing, food science, and everyday Finnish when discussing cereals in bulk, storage, processing, or crop-related topics. As a grammatical form, viljoilla is not a separate lexical item with a new meaning; it is a case and number form of vilja used to express location or context involving multiple grains.
