sovelluksellisissa

Sovelluksellisissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish adjective sovelluksellinen. It roughly means “in application-related contexts” or “in application domains.” The word is built from the noun sovellus (application, also software app) plus the suffix -llinen, which creates adjectives meaning “characterized by” or “pertaining to,” and the plural inessive ending -issa/-issa to indicate location or domain.

Sovelluksellinen is used chiefly in technical, scientific, or academic writing to describe phenomena, methods, or concepts that relate to practical use or real-world applications rather than purely theoretical aspects. In such contexts sovelluksellisissa yhteyksissä might be used to refer to considerations tied to how something is applied or implemented. The term can be synonymous with or contrasted against expressions like soveltuva (applicable) or sovelluksiin liittyvä (related to applications), but it carries a nuance of being specifically grounded in practical use.

Because sovelluksellinen and its inflected forms are relatively specialized, the phrase sovelluksellisissa is more common in professional discourse than in everyday language. Readers should ensure the intended sense of “application-related” is clear, especially when the word could be mistaken for references to software applications rather than to applied contexts.
