käyttöyhteydessään

Käyttöyhteydessään is a Finnish phrase that can be translated as “in its usage context” or “in the context of use.” It is used to indicate that observations, performance, or behavior depend on the conditions under which something is used. The expression is formed from käyttö (use) and yhteydessään (in its connection/context), with the possessive suffix -ssään marking “in its.” The result is a formal, context-sensitive way to discuss how use conditions affect outcomes.

In terms of grammar, käyttöyhteydessään behaves as an adverbial noun phrase. It is most common in technical, scientific, or academic Finnish and in structured documentation where authors want to delimit statements to a specific usage scenario. It is less frequent in everyday speech, where simpler phrases such as käyttökontekstissa or kontekstissa of use may be preferred.

Usage and nuance: The phrase helps to distinguish general properties from those that hold only within a particular use context. It often appears in discussions of products, software, or experiments where results vary with factors such as environment, user actions, or technical setup. Because it is somewhat formal, it typically appears in written material such as reports, manuals, and scholarly texts.
