osapuoilla

Osapuoilla is a Finnish grammatical form of the noun osapuoli, which refers to a party to a contract, agreement, or legal dispute. As the adessive plural, it is used to indicate “with the parties” or “at the parties,” referring collectively to the participants involved in a matter. In legal and commercial Finnish, this form often appears when describing the rights, duties, or actions of all parties to an agreement.

In practice, osapuoilla is encountered in contract texts, court pleadings, and administrative documents where the reference is to the group of parties as a unit. The term emphasizes the collective position of those who have a stake in the matter, rather than any single party. Phrases built around this form typically concern procedures, obligations, or communications directed at or emanating from all involved parties.

Etymology and related forms: osapuoli is a compound-like noun formed from elements meaning “part” or “side,” and osapuolet is the nominative plural. Finnish grammar provides several inflected forms for different cases, with the adessive plural form advertising the notion of location or association with the parties as a group.
