erityissovelluksissa

Erityissovelluksissa is a Finnish phrase that translates to “in special applications” or “in specialized uses.” It is the inessive plural form of the noun erityissovellus, which means a special or specialized application. The word is commonly used in technical, scientific, and academic writing to indicate contexts or cases where a method, device, or principle is applied to specific tasks rather than to general use.

In use, erityissovelluksissa signals that the discussion refers to particular applications with unique requirements or constraints. It helps to distinguish broad principles from their targeted implementations. The term often appears in research articles, engineering reports, and other professional texts where authors compare general approaches to those tailored for a given domain, such as medicine, manufacturing, or environmental monitoring. It may be contrasted with yleisissä sovelluksissa (in general applications) to highlight context-dependent performance or suitability.

Morphologically, erityissovelluksissa is formed from erityinen (special), sovellus (application), and the plural inessive suffixes -ukset (making sovellukset) and -issa (inesive). This combination yields the meaning “in special applications” for multiple contexts. While common in Finnish technical writing, the expression is less frequent in everyday language and is mainly encountered in discipline-specific discussions.
