määrityksissä

Määrityksissä is the Finnish inessive plural form of the noun määritys, generally translated as "in the specifications," "in the definitions," or "in the determinations." Grammatically, it indicates location or context within multiple items of specification or definition and is formed by adding the inessive suffix -ssä to the plural stem.

The term appears in several domains. In technical and engineering contexts määrityksissä refers to details found in product specifications, configuration files or system requirements. In legal and administrative texts it denotes provisions or definitions contained within documents. In biological and classification contexts it can mean distinctions made in taxonomic determinations. In everyday language it may be used more loosely to refer to what is stated or decided in particular descriptions or agreements.

Common collocations include määrityksissä mainitut (as specified), määrityksissä kuvattu (described in the specifications) and määrityksissä sovitut (agreed upon in the specifications). Synonyms and related forms vary with context: määritelmissä (in the definitions) is close in meaning when the emphasis is conceptual rather than technical; asetuksissa (in the settings) is used for software or device configurations.

Understanding määrityksissä requires attention to both its grammatical role and the domain in which määritys is used, since nuances differ between technical, legal and colloquial registers.
