peräkkäisillä

Peräkkäisillä is a Finnish word that translates to "consecutive" or "in a row" in English. It is used to describe a sequence of events, items, or periods that follow one another without interruption. The word is an adjective, typically appearing in its adessive plural form, indicating location or time.

For example, one might say "kolme peräkkäistä päivää" which means "three consecutive days." This signifies three days that follow each other directly. Similarly, "peräkkäisillä kerroilla" could mean "on consecutive occasions" or "in a row." The context in which "peräkkäisillä" is used determines its precise meaning, but the core concept of uninterrupted succession remains constant.

This term is commonly employed in everyday Finnish conversation, as well as in more formal writing. It is a versatile word that helps to convey a sense of order and continuity. Understanding its usage is key to comprehending Finnish expressions related to time, sequence, and repetition. The word is derived from "peräkkäin," which means "in a row" or "one after another." The addition of the adessive plural ending "-llä" transforms it into a descriptive adjective indicating multiple items or instances that are consecutive.
