ompelussa

Ompelussa is a Finnish noun form meaning “in sewing” or “during sewing.” It is the inessive form of ompelu, the act or process of sewing, used to denote the state or activity of sewing. The word appears mainly in written Finnish in contexts describing garment construction, crafts, or textile processes, and is often found in instructional or descriptive passages about sewing.

Morphology and usage: The base noun ompelu denotes sewing; adding the inessive suffix -ssa yields ompelussa, meaning “in sewing” or “during sewing.” Related terms include ompelija (seamstress), ompelutyö (sewing work), and ompelukone (sewing machine). The form is most common in formal or technical writing and in linguistic discussions; in everyday Finnish, speakers typically use ompelu or verbs to describe the action rather than the inessive noun form.

Usage notes: Ompelussa is a specialized term and may appear in dictionaries, grammars, or manuals that discuss sewing terminology or Finnish morphology. It can be used to specify the context of a sewing task or to describe the state of a piece while it is being worked on.
