kulttuureissa

Kulttuureissa is a Finnish noun form meaning “in cultures.” It is the inessive plural of kulttuuri, the word for culture. In Finnish grammar, the inessive case expresses location “inside” or “within,” and the plural form kulttuureissa refers to multiple cultures. The closest English translations are “in cultures” or “across cultures,” depending on context.

Usage of kulttuureissa appears in ethnographic, sociological, and intercultural discourse, as well as in journalism and education. It is used when discussing how norms, values, practices, or communication differ or align across different cultural groups. The term can help frame comparative analysis or discussions of cultural variation. For example, a sentence might read: “Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan, miten kulttuureissa sosiaaliset normit muuttuvat ajan myötä.” (The study examines how social norms in cultures change over time.)

Etymology and related terms: kulttuuri originates from Latin cultura, via the Swedish kult ur. The broader concept of culture is central to discussions of identity, social organization, art, and technology, and kulttuureissa functions as a grammatical vehicle to express cross-cultural contexts in Finnish writing.
