kaavoilla

Kaavoilla is a Finnish word form derived from kaava, which has several related meanings such as pattern, template, and formula. The form kaavoilla is the plural adessive, literally meaning “on patterns” or “with templates.” It is used to indicate a manner or instrument involving multiple patterns or formulas, depending on the context.

In design and manufacturing, kaavoilla is commonly used to describe production or planning that relies on standardized patterns. For example, sentences like “Vaatteet valmistetaan kaavoilla” convey that clothing is produced using predefined patterns. In sewing, kaavat refer to the actual templates used to cut fabric, while kaavoilla foregrounds the application or employment of those templates in the process.

In mathematics and science, kaavoilla can indicate approaches or calculations based on formulas. It may be used to describe methods where results are derived with established equations or relationships. For instance, “Tutkimuksen tulokset saatiin kaavoilla” would suggest that the results were obtained through formulas.

Linguistic note: kaavoilla is a plural form in the adessive case, used to express location or means with multiple kaava-based elements. The singular equivalents are kaavalla (on the pattern) and kaavalla—kaavat and related forms vary with case and number. There is no separate entity named Kaavoilla; rather, it is a grammatical form of a common noun that appears across various contexts.
