muunnelmilla

Muunnelmilla is the adessive plural form of the Finnish noun muunnelma, meaning variation, version, or modification. In Finnish grammar, muunnelmilla is used to refer to multiple variations or variants of something, and it roughly translates to “with variations” or “in variants” in English. The form signals that more than one version exists and is being discussed or presented.

Common contexts for muunnelmilla include literature, music, folklore, software, and technical or administrative texts where several forms or editions are available. The concept underlying muunnelmilla is muunnelma, while muunnelmilla specifically indicates accompaniment or presentation in multiple variants. The adessive case shows the relationship of the variations to the thing being described, for example, in how the variants are provided or displayed.

Usage notes:

- Muunnelmilla is used after a noun to express that that thing exists in multiple variants or versions.

- It is typically found in discussions of texts, performances, instructions, or products that have several alternate forms.

Examples:

- Kappale on julkaistu useilla muunnelmilla. (The piece has been published in several variants.)

- Käyttöohjeet ovat saatavilla muunnelmilla. (The instructions are available in variants.)

Muunnelmilla is a morphological form and not a separate semantic category; its meaning is derived from muunnelma and the grammatical function of the adessive plural. It is most useful in formal or academic Finnish when describing multiple versions of a work, rule, or object.
