joulukuussa

Joulukuussa is a Finnish adverbial form meaning “in December” or “during December.” It is derived from joulukuu, the month of December, and represents the inessive case of that noun. In Finnish, month names take endings to indicate time frames, and joulukuussa specifies events, weather, or other conditions occurring within December.

Usage and examples: The word is common in both spoken and written Finnish. Examples include sentences like “Joulukuussa sataa usein lunta” (In December it often snows) and “Joulukuussa järjestetään monia tapahtumia” (Many events are held in December). Joulukuussa functions as a neutral time reference, useful when describing seasonal changes, holidays, or year-end activities. December is culturally linked to Christmas and the winter season in Finland, a context that frequently appears in discourse using joulukuussa.
