erityisessä

Erityisessä is a Finnish adjective form meaning “in a special/particular sense” or “in a special case.” It is the inessive singular form of the adjective erityinen, which denotes something distinctive, specific, or notable. The word is typically used to indicate that a statement applies within a defined, limited context rather than generally.

In Finnish grammar, adjectives decline to match the case and number of the nouns they modify. erityinen has various forms such as erityisen (genitive), erityistä (partitive), erityisessä (inessive), erityiseen (illative), and so on. The inessive form erityisessä is used when something exists or occurs inside a specified domain or context. Common collocations include phrases like erityisessä kontekstissa, erityisessä tapauksessa, or erityisessä suhteessa, all conveying “in a particular context/case/relationship.”

Usage and tone: erityinen and its inflected form erityisessä are more common in formal, technical, or legal Finnish than in everyday speech. They help emphasize specificity and limit the scope of a statement. While niin sanotusti, erityisesti (adverbial form) is often used to mean “especially,” erityisessä retains a sense of location or condition within a defined framework.

Examples:

- Tutkimuksessa käsitellään ilmiöitä erityisessä kontekstissa. (The phenomena are discussed in a particular context.)

- Sääntö koskee erityisessä tapauksessa tapahtuvia poikkeuksia. (The rule applies to exceptions in a special case.)
