kantajalla

Kantajalla is a Finnish word form: the adessive singular of kantaja, an agent noun meaning "carrier" or "bearer". It is built from the verb kantaa ("to carry") with the agentive suffix -ja, and the adessive case ending -lla. The adessive typically indicates location "on" or "at", possession in constructions like "minulla on" ("I have"), or means/instrumentality.

Etymology and formation: kantaja derives from Proto-Finnic roots related to carrying; the adessive kantajalla combines this stem with the common locative/possessive ending -lla. In grammatical terms it belongs to regular declension patterns for -ja agent nouns in Finnish.

Meaning and usage: kantajalla can be translated depending on context as "on the carrier", "at the carrier", or, idiomatically, "the carrier has" when used with the verb olla ("to be/have"). It appears in everyday, medical and technical contexts—for example describing a person who carries an infection, an object’s bearer, or a transport operator. Example sentences: "Kantajalla oli oireita" ("The carrier had symptoms") or "Tavarankantajalla on vastuu lastista" ("The carrier of the goods is responsible for the cargo").

Related forms include kantaja (nominative), kantajan (genitive), kantajalla (adessive), kantajalta (ablative) and kantajalle (allative). Understanding kantajalla requires knowledge of Finnish case functions, particularly the adessive's role in expressing possession and location.
