lainakohtaisiin

Lainakohtaisiin is a Finnish language term used to refer to the provisions or sections of a law. It is formed from the noun kohta (section, provision) combined with laki (law) to create lainakohta, and the illative plural suffix -iin yields lainakohtaisiin, meaning “to the legal provisions.”

In legal and academic texts, lainakohtaisiin is typically used when discussing multiple statutory provisions as a basis for argument or interpretation. It denotes a reference to a set of clauses within the legislative text rather than to a single provision. The form is most common in formal writing, parliamentary discourse, and court materials, where precise reference to statutory text is required.

Usage notes and related forms: lainakohtainen or lainakohtaisesti would be variants related to the same idea but with different grammatical roles. In everyday language, speakers more often use broader terms such as pykälät (sections) or lainsäädäntö (legislation). When describing reliance on multiple provisions, phrases like viitata lainakohtaisiin, vedota lainakohtaisiin, or viittaus pykäliin may appear, depending on the context and syntactic needs.
