neliömetrillä

Neliömetrillä is a Finnish inflected form of the unit neliömetri, meaning square meter. Neliömetri is the standard SI unit of area, equal to a square with sides of one meter, and its symbol is m². The form neliömetrillä appears in Finnish grammar as the adessive case singular, and it is used in contexts where the area unit relates to a rate or quantity measured per square meter.

In practice, neliömetrillä is most common in discussions of prices, densities, or allocations that are expressed per unit area. The phrase signals that a value applies to each square meter of area, for example in real estate, construction, or manufacturing contexts. Because Finnish often relies on per-unit expressions with various grammatical constructions, the exact phrasing can vary between texts.

Note that more formal or unambiguous ways to express per-area rates in Finnish include constructions like neliömetriä kohti or kohden, which translate to per square meter. The use of neliömetrillä is thus context-dependent: it may appear in marketing material, product listings, or informal language, but it is less common in strictly technical writing.

Related terms include neliömetri (the unit itself) and pinta-ala (area). Understanding the distinction between the unit and its inflected forms helps in interpreting Finnish measurements, pricing, and density expressions.
