laasteissa

Laasteissa is a Finnish word-form that functions as the plural inessive of the noun laasti, which means mortar or plaster mixture used in masonry and construction. In Finnish, the inessive case expresses location “in” or “inside,” and laasteissa specifically refers to multiple mortars or multiple instances of mortar.

Usage and context

The term is primarily encountered in technical, construction, or building documentation where materials and mixtures are described. Because it is a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept, laasteissa appears in sentences that discuss the contents, condition, or location of mortars. For example, a construction report might state: “Laasteissa on sekoitettuna hiekkaa ja sementtiä,” meaning “In the mortars, sand and cement have been mixed.”

Limitations

Laasteissa does not denote a specific organization, place, or widely recognized concept beyond its linguistic function. Its relevance is largely within the domain of Finnish grammar and material descriptions in construction contexts.

Related terms

Laasti (mortar), sementti (cement), and the inessive case in Finnish grammar are closely related, as laasteissa illustrates how a material noun can change form to indicate location in plural contexts.
