sitoumuksissa

Sitoumuksissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish noun sitoumus, meaning commitments, obligations, or undertakings. The form signals being within or under multiple commitments, typically in formal or organizational contexts.

In Finnish, sitoumus refers to a binding obligation or pledge, such as contractual duties, promises, or formal commitments by individuals, organizations, or governments. Sitoumuksissa thus denotes the state or context in which several such commitments apply or are in effect. The phrase is common in legal, administrative, and business texts, where it helps describe the scope of duties or constraints that govern actions and decisions.

Morphology and usage notes: The base word sits on the singular sitoumus and the plural sitoumukset. The inessive plural ending -issa/-issä attaches to the plural form, producing sitoumuksissa. The choice of -issa in this case reflects Finnish vowel harmony and typical noun-termination patterns for inessive plural forms. Because sitoumus covers formal obligations, sitoumuksissa often appears in discussions of governance, project management, or compliance, indicating what is included within the obligations or under the commitments in question.

Examples of use in neutral, informative prose: "Hankkeen menestys riippuu siitä, miten sitoumuksissa määritellyt tehtävät suoritetaan" and "Sitoumuksissa olevat velvoitteet rajaavat projektin aikataulua." In everyday language, speakers may prefer simpler terms like sitoumukset or velvoitteet, with sitoumuksissa reserved for contexts emphasizing the scope within commitments.
