ilmiössä

Ilmiössä is the inessive singular form of the Finnish noun ilmiö, meaning a phenomenon or occurrence. The form is used when indicating that something is located within or is a part of a phenomenon, or when referring to characteristics observed inside a phenomenon.

In Finnish, ilmiö is declined for case like other fundamental nouns. The inessive singular ending is -ssä, which on ilmiö yields ilmiössä (with the stem before the ending). The plural inessive form would be ilmiöissä, meaning “in the phenomena.” Other related forms include ilmiön (genitive), ilmiötä (partitive), and ilmiöitä (partitive plural).

Usage of ilmiössä tends to appear in scientific, philosophical, or descriptive writing, where authors discuss features, processes, or events that occur within a particular phenomenon. It helps localize observations to the phenomenon being studied without broadening the reference to the surrounding content.

Example sentences:

- Ilmiössä havaittiin useita vaiheita.

- Tutkimuksessa ilmiössä esiintyivät piirteet viittasivat monimutkaiseen prosessiin.
