kohtuasjas

Kohtuasjas is a Finnish term used in legal language to indicate that something relates to a particular court case. It is formed from the words kohtu (court) and asia (matter) and appears in various inflected forms within official documents and judgments.

In practice, kohtuasjas functions as a contextual marker that identifies the case to which a statement or document belongs. It is commonly found in court submissions, decisions, summaries, and other materials produced during judicial proceedings. The term helps to distinguish actions, motions, evidence, or notes that pertain to one specific case from those related to other matters.

Usage and forms are largely determined by Finnish grammar. The base term kohtuasi- is combined with case endings to fit the sentence, so you will see phrases that convey, for example, that a document or argument is part of or about a given case. In English translations, kohtuasjas is typically rendered as “in the case,” “in the matter,” or “in the proceedings of.”

Kohtuasjas is most relevant to legal professionals, researchers, and students studying Finnish judicial texts. It appears in formal contexts and is less common in everyday language. As a technical term, its precise meaning is tied to the case at hand, making the surrounding context important for full understanding.
