sotilaallisessa

Sotilaallisessa is the inessive singular form of the Finnish adjective sotilaallinen, meaning military or militaristic. It is used to indicate that something relates to or occurs in a military sense, as in phrases describing a military context, attitude, or capability.

The word is formed from the stem sotilaallinen, derived from sotilas (soldier) with the standard Finnish adjectival suffix -llinen. Like other Finnish adjectives, sotilaallinen inflects for number and case; the inessive singular is sotilaallisessa, and the inessive plural is sotilaallisissa. Related forms include sotilaallisen (genitive singular) and sotilaallista (partitive singular). An adverbial equivalent is sotilaallisesti, meaning militarily.

Usage and nuance: Sotilaallisessa is commonly used in discussions about defence, security, and organizational characteristics with military features. It can describe policies, structures, training, or environments described as military in nature. Depending on context, more specific terms such as militarinen (militaristic in a broader sense) or sotilaallinen (military-related) may be preferred to convey precise nuance. The expression is generally neutral, though it can carry evaluative undertones when used in political or ethical analysis of militarization.

Examples:

- sotilaallisessa mielessä (in a military sense)

- sotilaallisessa koulutuksessa (in military training)

- sotilaallisessa strategiassa (in a military strategy)
