kulttuureilla

Kulttuureilla is the plural adessive form of the Finnish noun kulttuuri, meaning “cultures.” The adessive case marks location, presence, or association, so kulttuureilla is used to refer to something that occurs in or with multiple cultures, or in a context involving cultures. It is commonly found in academic writing about sociology, anthropology, education, and intercultural studies.

In terms of grammar, kulttuureilla is formed from kulttuuri with the plural suffix and the adessive ending -lla (with vowel harmony). The corresponding singular form is kulttuurilla (on a culture, in a culture), while the genitive plural is kulttuurien (of cultures). The form is typically used with plural subjects or contexts, often preceded by a determiner such as monilla amounts or useilla.

Usage examples:

- Monilla kulttuureilla on omat perinteensä. (Many cultures have their own traditions.)

- Tutkimus vertailee koulutuskäytäntöjä monilla kulttuureilla. (The study compares educational practices across cultures.)

- Eri kulttuureilla on erilaisia rituaaleja ja tapoja. (Different cultures have different rituals and customs.)
