luokitusmateriaalissa

Luokitusmateriaalissa is a Finnish locative form built from the compound luokitusmateriaali, meaning classification material, with the inessive suffix -ssa indicating location “in” or “inside.” The term is not a standalone concept but a location phrase used in contexts where something is contained within or found inside classification-related material, such as manuals, guidelines, or datasets.

Formation and meaning: The phrase combines luokitus (classification) and materiaali (material). When the compound is used with -ssa, it specifies that the referenced content resides within that material. For example, luokitusmateriaalissa can indicate that instructions or data are located inside the classification material.

Usage: Luokitusmateriaalissa tends to appear in technical, institutional, or field-specific writing—such as library science, information management, or data governance—where precise references to sections or contents of a classification system are needed. It functions similarly to other inessive-origin phrases in Finnish to denote location within a document or resource.

Examples:

- Ohjeet löytyvät luokitusmateriaalissa. (The instructions are found in the classification material.)

- Tiedot ovat luokitusmateriaalissa, osiossa 3. (The information is in the classification material, section 3.)

Notes: This form is relatively specialized and may not appear in everyday language outside relevant professional contexts. The base concept can be expressed with luokitusmateriaali or by rephrasing to specify the exact document or section.
