nimikkeillä

Nimikkeillä is a Finnish linguistic form derived from the noun nimike, which means designation, label, title, or name used to identify something. Nimikkeillä is the plural inessive form, commonly translated as “on the designations” or “with the designations.” In everyday language the form appears when discussing multiple labels or categories that are in use or applied to items, concepts, or persons.

In practice, nimikkeet and nimikkeistö are the related terms most often encountered. Nimike refers to a single designation, such as a job title (for example, toimituspäällikkö) or a product name (for example, malli X100). Nimikkeistö or nimikkeistöluettelo denotes a system or list of designations used for classification, indexing, or cataloguing. The plural form nimikkeillä appears in sentences describing the designations themselves or the items that carry those designations, for instance in contexts like documentation, databases, or organizational charts.

Common usage domains include employment terminology, product naming, and information science. In HR and corporate communication, nimikkeet describe official job titles. In product management and marketing, nimikkeillä may refer to the various product designations or model names used in catalogs. In libraries, archives, and data systems, nimikkeistö describes the controlled vocabulary and the set of allowed labels for indexing and retrieval.

Grammatically, nimikkeillä demonstrates how Finnish marks plural designations in the inessive case, indicating location or association with the labels. It serves as a practical example of how Finnish nouns inflect for number and case to convey relations between objects and their identifiers.
