esityössä

esityössä is a Finnish linguistic term referring to the inessive form of the noun esitys, which means a presentation, show, or performance. In everyday use, it denotes being located in or occurring within a production, such as a theatre show, concert, or other staged event. The concept also appears in discussions about performances in film, television, or other live or recorded productions.

Morphology and standard form: The base noun esitys combines the idea of presenting or showing something. The standard inessive singular form is esityksessä. This form indicates “in the performance” or “in the show.” In written Finnish, esityksessä is preferred in formal contexts. Some informal texts or typographical variants may display the form esitysö or esityössä, but these are not considered standard; esityksessä is the recommended form in most contexts.

Usage and examples: The term is used to describe actors’ involvement or the location of events within a production. Examples include: Hän on esityksessä. (He is in the performance.) Esityksessä käytettiin uutta lavastusta. (In the production, a new set design was used.) For time-related references, speakers often use aikaa esityksen aikana to say “during the performance.”

See also: esitys, esitystapa, näytelmä, esitystila.

Notes: While esityksessä might be encountered in some texts, esityksessä is the standard form for the inessive case of esitys. When writing formally, prefer esityksessä to avoid nonstandard variants.
