omistuksella

Omistuksella is a Finnish grammatical form derived from omistus (ownership). In Finnish, the adessive case -lla/-llä is used to express “with,” “on the basis of,” or “under” a certain condition. Therefore omistuksella literally means “with ownership” or “on ownership” and is used to indicate that something is owned by a person or entity or that a right, obligation, or action rests on that ownership.

Etymology and function: The term combines omistus (ownership) with the adessive suffix -lla, a common mechanism in Finnish to mark the source, basis, or authority for a statement. In legal or administrative language, omistuksella helps specify who holds ownership rights and under whose authority decisions or actions related to the property are taken.

Usage and nuance: Omistuksella is typically found in formal and legal contexts to point to the owner as the basis for rights, responsibilities, or transfers. It contrasts with omistuksessa, which more directly means “in possession” or “held by” someone in a physical sense, and with omistusoikeus, which denotes the ownership right itself. The choice between these forms can affect emphasis on ownership versus possession or control.

Examples:

- Oikeus myydä kiinteistö perustuu omistuksella olevan yrityksen oikeudelliseen asemaan.

- Talo on omistuksella olevan yrityksen omaisuutta.
