metalleilla

Metalleilla is a Finnish term formed as the adessive plural of metalli, meaning literally “on metals” or “with metals.” In Finnish grammar metalleilla is used to indicate location, surface, or context involving metals, and it appears in both everyday language and technical discourse.

In general usage, metalleilla denotes surfaces or materials associated with metals, for example when describing phenomena that occur on metal surfaces, or actions performed with metals as the material. Common contexts include materials science, chemistry, galvanic processes, corrosion studies, and surface treatments. For instance, a sentence like reaktiot tapahtuvat metalleilla would be interpreted as “the reactions occur on metals” (i.e., on metal surfaces or involving metal specimens). Another form, such as pintakäsittely metalleilla, can be understood as “surface treatment on metals” or “surface treatment with metals.”

Etymology and grammar: metalli is the singular noun meaning metal, and -lla is the adessive suffix signaling location or context. The plural adessive form metalleilla is used when multiple metals or multiple metal surfaces are involved. Like other Finnish noun forms, the exact meaning can shift with the surrounding words and the verb or adjective it modifies.
