kolmannessa

Kolmannessa is the inessive singular form of the Finnish adjective kolmas, meaning “third.” It is used to indicate location or state within a sequence or space, such as being inside the third part of something or on the third level. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in case, number and, to some extent, person, so kolmannessa functions to specify where or when an object or action is situated.

The form is created by attaching the inessive suffix -ssa to the stem derived from kolmas, resulting in kolmannessa. This reflects Finnish inflection patterns where adjectives take a corresponding case ending to describe location, position, or stage within a structure or process. Kolmannessa is commonly seen with nouns in expressions like kolmannessa kerroksessa (on the third floor), kolmannessa osassa (in the third part), or kolmannessa vaiheessa (in the third stage).

In everyday Finnish, kolmannessa often appears in descriptive or narrative contexts to guide readers or listeners through a spatial or chronological progression. While kolmannessa is primarily a grammatical form, it may also appear in titles or fixed expressions where capitalization marks a proper name or heading, though such usage is context-dependent and not standard.
