lavoilla

Lavoilla is the plural inessive form of the Finnish noun lava, meaning “on the stages.” The inessive case marks location, and when it is plural, lavoilla refers to being on more than one stage. The form is used in contexts where multiple stages are involved, such as concerts, festivals, theater productions, or event reports that mention performances on several stages.

Usage examples include: “Bändit esiintyivät lavoilla,” which translates to “The bands performed on the stages.” In festival coverage you might see phrases like “esitykset lavoilla,” meaning “performances on the stages.” The form is common in Finnish media, program schedules, and spoken language when referring to activities occurring across multiple stages.

Notes and distinctions: the corresponding singular form lavalla means “on the stage.” The word lava can also refer to molten rock, in which case the plural nominative is lavat; however, in everyday usage lavoilla almost always denotes stages and is understood in that sense from context. The term is primarily relevant in discussions of performances, events, and venues rather than geology.
