kirjoitelmissa

Kirjoitelmissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish noun kirjoitelma, meaning an essay or a short written piece. In Finnish, kirjoitelma commonly refers to a relatively brief, structured composition, often produced as schoolwork or in light literary contexts. The form kirjoitelmissa expresses “in the essays” or “in the writings” and is used to indicate location or context within multiple works.

Usage and meaning. Kirjoitelmissa is used when discussing content, themes, or linguistic features that appear within several essays or other short writings. It helps distinguish what is found specifically in those texts, rather than in other genres such as novels or articles. The plural inessive form is a typical way to refer to material distributed across many pieces of writing.

Grammar notes. Kirjoitelmissa is formed by adding the plural suffix -at for kirjoitelmat and the inessive plural ending -issa, yielding -missa. This form is commonly used with verbs and predicates that describe features present within the writings, for example: “Kirjoitelmissa toistuvat samat teemat,” meaning “the same themes recur in the essays.”

Examples. “Kriteerien mukaan tutkimuksessa vertaillaan kirjoitelmissa esiintyviä ilmauksia.” “Kirjoitelmissa käsitellään sekä historiallisia että yhteiskunnallisia aiheita.” These illustrate how kirjoitelmissa functions as a locative reference to content found within the essays.
