realismissa

Realismissa is a Finnish word form that conveys the meaning "in realism" or "within realism." It is the inessive case of realismi, the Finnish noun for the artistic and philosophical concept of realism. The inessive case (-ssa / -ssä) indicates location or a state "inside" something, here used figuratively to denote a perspective, style, or conceptual framework.

In linguistic terms, realismi is the nominative form; other basic inflections include realismin (genitive) and realismia (partitive). Realismissa is used in sentences to situate actions, descriptions, or analyses within the realist mode: for example, realismissa kuvattu means "depicted in realism," and realismissa tarkasteltuna can be translated as "examined from a realist perspective."

Usage appears primarily in discussions of art, literature, film, and critical theory when distinguishing realist approaches from other movements such as romanticism or modernism. The form can also be used metaphorically in everyday Finnish to indicate approaching an issue with a realistic, pragmatic standpoint. Pronunciation follows Finnish phonology: [re.alˈis.mi.sːa].

As a grammatical form rather than a separate concept, realismissa should be understood in relation to realismi and the broader discourse on realism. Context determines whether it refers to an artistic style, a philosophical stance, or a general realistic orientation.
