luonnolla

Luonnolla is the adessive singular form of the Finnish noun luonto, which means "nature" or "the natural world". As an adessive case form (ending in -lla/-llä), luonnolla is used to indicate location ("in/on the outdoors"), presence, or the means by which an action is carried out. It appears frequently in everyday speech, literature and environmental contexts to refer to being out in nature or doing something outdoors.

Grammatical usage examples include expressions such as "olemme luonnolla" ("we are in nature/outdoors") and "liikkua luonnolla" ("to move about in nature"). The adessive also supports idiomatic constructions that convey possession or association in Finnish; for example, in constructions analogous to "with" or "by means of" in English. Related case forms of luonto include luonnon (genitive), luonnossa (inessive), luonnosta (elative) and luonnolle (allative).

In discourse, luonnolla appears in topics on recreation (hiking, camping), conservation and ecology, and in cultural references to the benefits of time spent outdoors. It can occur in set phrases and proverbs that reflect attitudes toward the environment. As a morphological form rather than a standalone concept, luonnolla’s primary interest is grammatical and pragmatic: it situates actions and experiences relative to the natural environment in Finnish language use.
