suureissa

Suureissa is a Finnish adjective form that functions as the plural inessive of the word suuri, meaning large or big. In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, and the inessive case denotes a location roughly equivalent to “in” or “inside.” The plural inessive suffix is -issa/-issä, so the form for plural nouns is suur-e-ssa or suur-e-issä, yielding suur-e-issa, written as suur ei ssa in standard spelling and commonly seen as suureissa.

The practical use of suureissa is in phrases describing multiple large objects or locations. For example, suurissa taloissa means “in the large houses,” and suureissa kaupungeissa means “in the large cities.” The construction can extend to various plural nouns, always pairing them with the corresponding inessive plural adjective form.

Notes on usage:

- suureissa is not typically a standalone noun; it is an inflected adjective form used within larger noun phrases.

- It is common in descriptive writing about spaces, objects, or groups where size is a relevant attribute.

- The form helps maintain grammatical agreement with the plural noun it modifies.
