kaupallisissa

Kaupallisissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish adjective kaupallinen, meaning commercial or trade-related. It is used to describe plural nouns when conveying the idea of “in commercial [places/contexts],” and is formed from the stem kaupallis- with the inessive plural suffix -issa. The corresponding singular form is kaupallisessa (in the commercial).

In Finnish grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. Therefore, kaupallinen takes different endings depending on the noun’s number and grammatical case. Kaupallisissa is commonly found in phrases describing locations or contexts associated with commerce, such as tilat, rakennukset, liikkeet, or alueet, without always repeating the noun.
