lupauksissa

Lupauksissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish noun lupaus, meaning a promise. The base noun lupaus forms a plural as lupaukset, and lupauksissa denotes “in the promises” or “within the promises.” It is used to refer to commitments or assurances that are present within a discussed context, whether literal in a text or metaphorical in a discussion.

Morphology and usage notes: The inessive case indicates location or state, and the plural form is created by attaching the suffix -issa to the plural stem lupaukset, yielding lupauksissa. The phrase appears most often in written Finnish, including analytical writing, literary analysis, and discussions of agreements or commitments. It can carry a slightly formal or symbolic tone, especially when evaluating the content or fulfillment of promises.

Examples:

- Lupauksissa on usein toivoa ja epävarmuutta. (In promises there is often hope and uncertainty.)

- Keskustelussa kiinnitettiin huomiota siihen, mitä lupauksissa luvattiin. (In the discussion, attention was drawn to what was promised in the promises.)

- Tutkimus analysoi, miksi lupauksissa on ristiriitoja. (The study analyzes why there are inconsistencies in the promises.)
