säännöissään

säännöissään is a Finnish word that translates to "in its rules" or "within its regulations." It is a possessive form of the word sääntö, meaning rule or regulation. The suffix -issään indicates a locative case, signifying "in" or "within," and the possessive suffix -än refers to the third person possessive, meaning "its." Therefore, säännöissään literally means "in its own rules."

This word is typically used when referring to a system, organization, or even a game that has established guidelines or principles governing its operation or play. For example, one might say that a particular company operates säännöissään to indicate that it adheres to its own internal policies and procedures. Similarly, in a game context, a player might observe that the game is proceeding säännöissään, meaning that all actions are being taken in accordance with the game's established rules. The word emphasizes adherence to established norms or legal frameworks within a defined scope. It implies that whatever is being described is acting or behaving in accordance with the established order or set of directives that govern it.
