määräämissä

määräämissä is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the inessive plural of the word määrä, which generally means "amount" or "quantity." The inessive case in Finnish indicates a state of being inside something. Therefore, määräämissä literally translates to "in amounts" or "in quantities."

This form is used in sentences to describe a situation where something is contained or characterized by certain amounts or quantities. For example, "Tiedot ovat määräämissä muodossa" could mean "The information is in certain amounts" or "The data is in specific quantities." The exact nuance depends on the context. It implies that the amounts are not necessarily fixed or precisely known, but rather that they exist within a range or a specific set of quantities.

The plural form suggests that there are multiple amounts or quantities being referred to. This contrasts with the singular inessive, "määrässä," which would refer to "in an amount" or "in a quantity." The ending "-issä" is the characteristic inessive plural ending for many Finnish nouns. The form määräämissä is not frequently encountered in everyday speech but can appear in more formal or technical writing where precise descriptions of quantities are necessary.
