syntymisessä

Syntymisessä is a Finnish grammatical form that expresses “in the birth” or “in the act of birth.” It is the inessive case (-ssa/-ssä) of a noun related to birth or birth-related processes, used to indicate location or time within the course of birth or emergence.

The form is most commonly found in written or technical contexts, such as medical, biological, or scholarly descriptions, rather than in everyday speech. In ordinary language speakers typically use syntymässä (in birth, at birth) to refer to a point in time or place, or synnytys to denote the act of labor and delivery. Syntymisessä, by contrast, emphasizes the process as a whole and situates events inside that ongoing practice or phenomenon.

In Finnish, syntymisessä can appear in phrases describing stages, mechanisms, or factors occurring during birth or birth-related development. For example, a sentence might refer to “syntymisessä tapahtuvia fysiologisia muutoksia” to denote physiological changes that take place during birth. The word is closely related to other forms such as syntymä (birth, the event) and syntyminen (emergence, origin) or synnytys (labor/delivery), each carrying its own nuance.

See also: syntymä, syntyminen, synnytys. While syntymässä and syntyminen are more common in everyday and academic Finnish, syntymisessä serves to pinpoint actions or phenomena inside the process of birth.
