biokemiallisilla

Biokemiallisilla is the adessive plural form of the Finnish adjective biokemiallinen, meaning biochemical. In Finnish, adjectives decline to match the number and case of the noun they modify. Biokemiallisilla appears when describing plural nouns in the adessive case, often indicating means, manner, or context, for example biokemiallisilla menetelmillä (with biochemical methods) or biokemiallisilla tutkimuksilla (in/with biochemical studies).

The term is most common in scientific and academic writing, where researchers refer to processes, methods, or analyses related to biochemistry. It is not a separate technical term on its own but a grammatical form used to describe plural nouns in the adessive case. Typical collocations include menetelmillä, tutkimuksilla, prosesseilla, and analyyseillä, among others. The usage conveys that the action or property pertains to biochemistry or is carried out through biochemical means.

Examples:

- Tutkimus tehtiin biokemiallisilla menetelmillä. (The study was conducted using biochemical methods.)

- Biokemiallisilla prosesseilla on keskeinen rooli soluvasteissa. (Biochemical processes play a central role in cellular responses.)

- Näytteet analysoitiin biokemiallisilla analyyseillä. (The samples were analyzed with biochemical analyses.)

Etymology and scope: the word combines bio- (life) and kemiallinen (chemical), forming biokemiallinen, with biokemiallisilla representing plural adessive usage. It reflects Finnish morphology where adjectives modify plural nouns and express modality or method, particularly in research contexts.
