kirjailijoilla

Kirjailijoilla is a Finnish word that translates to "by authors" or "with authors" in English. It is the adessive plural form of the noun "kirjailija," which means "author" or "writer." This grammatical case, the adessive, is used to indicate proximity, accompaniment, or the means by which something is done. Therefore, "kirjailijoilla" can signify that something is possessed by authors, located with authors, or achieved through the actions or contributions of authors.

In literary contexts, the term "kirjailijoilla" might be used to describe a collection of works belonging to multiple writers, or a discussion or event involving several authors. For instance, a literary festival might be advertised as "tapahtumia kirjailijoilla," meaning "events with authors." Similarly, a library might have a section dedicated to "kirjailijoilla," referring to books written by specific authors or curated by them. The specific meaning often depends on the surrounding words and the broader context of the sentence. It is a common grammatical construction in Finnish, reflecting the nuanced ways possession and association are expressed in the language.
