reiteillä

Reiteillä is a Finnish word meaning "on the routes" or "along the routes." It is the plural locative form of reitti, a noun meaning route, path, or itinerary. The expression describes location or movement that takes place on a network of routes, such as hiking trails, roads, or railway lines, rather than on a single path.

Linguistic notes: The singular form is reitillä (on the route). The plural form reiteillä refers to being on or moving along multiple routes. The word is common in outdoor, transportation, and planning contexts and can appear in travel writing, logistics discussions, and forestry tasks.

Usage and context: Reiteillä is often used to describe activities that follow a system of routes—for example hiking across several trails, planning a trip that uses multiple roads, or analyzing travel networks. It can convey both physical navigation and metaphorical itinerary planning within a network of paths.

Examples: Kävelimme reiteillä koko päivän. Lähdemme reiteille aamulla toiseen kaupunkiin. Reittejä ylläpitävät viranomaiset merkitsevät reittejä, jotta retkeilijät pysyvät reiteillä.
