kojelaudalla

Kojelaudalla is a Finnish locative form meaning “on the dashboard” or “on the instrument panel.” It is formed from the compound kojelauta, referring to the dashboard or instrument panel in a vehicle or a similar control surface, plus the locative suffix -lla to indicate placement on top of a surface. The expression is commonly used in automotive and electronic contexts to describe where something is located.

In usage, kojelaudalla specifies a spatial relationship that is both practical and visual. It is most often applied to objects or displays found on or attached to a vehicle’s dashboard, such as clocks, displays, or control devices. The phrase helps convey where an item is situated within the cockpit or cockpit-like interfaces.
