romanialaisilla

The term "romanialaisilla" is the plural adessive case of the Finnish word "romanialainen," meaning "Romanian" (referring to people). In Finnish grammar, the adessive case typically indicates location or possession, often translating to "on," "at," or "with." Therefore, "romanialaisilla" would generally mean "with the Romanians" or "among the Romanians."

For example, if one were to say "Puhuin romanialaisilla" in Finnish, it would translate to "I spoke with the Romanians." Similarly, "Asun romanialaisilla" could mean "I live among Romanians" or "I live with Romanians," depending on the context. The specific nuance can be understood by examining the full sentence in which the word appears. It is a grammatical form used to describe interaction with, or presence among, Romanian people.

The word itself does not refer to a specific nationality or group in isolation, but rather to the grammatical function of denoting plurality and the adessive case. Understanding this case is crucial for comprehending Finnish sentences involving groups of people or objects. It is a common grammatical construction in the Finnish language.
