ravinnossa

Ravinnossa is a Finnish word form that means “in nourishment” or “in nutrition.” It is the inessive singular form of the noun ravinto, which refers to food, nourishment, or the nutritional state of a person or organism.

Etymology and form: The form ravinnossa is created by adding the inessive suffix -ssa to ravinto. In Finnish, this combination often involves phonological adjustments, resulting in ravinnossa. The word functions grammatically as a prepositional phrase equivalent, indicating a state or condition related to nutrition.

Usage: Ravinnossa is used when speaking about the nutritional state of someone or something, especially in health, diet, or clinical discussions. It is not a standalone topic; rather, it appears within larger sentences to specify being nourished or the state of nutrition at a given time or in a given context.

Examples: Potilaan ravinnossa pysyminen on tärkeää toipumisen kannalta. Ruokavalion suunnittelussa kiinnitetään huomiota ravinnon riittävyyteen, jotta ravinnossa pysyminen voidaan turvata.
