arvioivissa

Arvioivissa is a Finnish grammatical form, specifically the inessive plural of the present active participle arvioiva, meaning “evaluating.” The form is used as an adjective to describe nouns in contexts where evaluation is ongoing, such as discussions, processes, or situations. The base verb is arvioida, “to evaluate,” and the present active participle arvioiva denotes an active, ongoing action.

Morphology and usage. Arvioiva is declined for case and number, and its inessive plural form is arvioivissa, which is used with plural nouns in the inessive case (meaning “in evaluating …” or “in evaluative …”). The suffix combination reflects both participle meaning and location or context. For example, arvioivissa tilanteissa means “in evaluative situations,” and arvioivissa prosesseissa means “in evaluating processes.” The form is common in formal or analytical Finnish, where precise description of context is important.

Examples and nuance. In text, arvioivissa is typically placed before the noun it modifies: arvioivissa tilanteissa, jossa osapuolet ovat mukana. It often appears in academic, policy, or analytical prose to frame statements about how evaluation is conducted or considered. It should be distinguished from the basic adjective arvioiva (nominative singular) and from other participial forms such as arvioiva or arvioitava, which convey different grammatical relations or meanings.

Relationship to related terms. Arvioivissa relates to arvioiva as the plural inessive form; it is part of Finnish participle and case systems. See also present active participle arvioiva, inessive case, and Finnish participial inflection for further details.
