levyissä

Levyissä is the Finnish plural inessive form of the noun levy, meaning literally "in the records" or "in the discs/plates/albums". As a case form, it expresses location inside or among multiple items and is formed from the stem levy- plus the plural inessive ending -issä. It is used for both physical objects (vinyl records, discs, plates) and figurative groupings (albums, record releases, collections).

Grammatical context: levyissä corresponds to the inessive plural (one of the locative cases in Finnish). Related forms include singular inessive levyssä ("in the record"), singular adessive levyllä ("on the record"), and plural adessive levyillä ("on the records"). The nominative plural is levyt ("records").

Examples:

- Useat kappaleet löytyvät eri levyissä. (Many tracks are found on different albums.)

- Arkistokansion valokuvat olivat vanhoissa levyissä. (The archive folder’s photos were in old discs.)

Usage notes: levyissä appears in everyday and specialist language wherever location relative to multiple records or plates is needed. Context determines whether it refers to physical media, album releases, or metaphorical groupings. Because Finnish has a rich case system, similar locative distinctions are often expressed by choosing among inessive, adessive and other locative cases depending on the intended spatial or abstract relationship.
