sisääntulolla

Sisääntulolla is a Finnish word that translates to "at the entrance," "upon entry," or "at the threshold" in English. It describes the location or action of arriving at or being present at the point where one enters a place, building, or space. This can refer to a physical entrance, such as a doorway or gate, or a more metaphorical entrance, like the beginning of a process or a new phase.

The word is often used in everyday conversation to indicate where someone is or where an event is taking place. For example, "Olen sisääntulolla" means "I am at the entrance." It can also describe the act of entering, such as "Hän saapui sisääntulolla" meaning "He arrived at the entrance." The prepositional suffix "-lla" indicates location on or at.

In a broader sense, sisääntulolla can also be used to refer to the initial stage or the very beginning of something. For instance, "Projekti on vielä sisääntulolla" might imply that the project is in its very early stages of development or planning. The concept emphasizes the boundary between the outside and the inside, or between what has been and what is about to begin.
