teknikoissa

Teknikoissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish noun teknikko, meaning “in the technicians” or “among the technicians.” It refers to a group of technicians as a location or context, for example when describing actions, conditions, or qualities that pertain to that group.

The base word teknikko is a loanword from English technician, commonly used in Finnish to denote someone who performs technical work or maintains equipment. The plural nominative is teknikot, and the genitive plural is teknikoiden. The inessive plural form teknikoissa follows Finnish grammar, where the suffix -issa/-issä marks the inessive case and the plural ending is added to indicate multiple individuals.

Usage notes: teknikoissa is most often encountered in formal or technical contexts, such as workplace reports, manuals, or analyses that discuss the group of technicians at a facility or in a project. It can be contrasted with teknikoiden or teknikkoja when referring to the technicians as a possessive group or as a direct object, respectively.

Etymology: teknikko comes from English technician. The word has been part of Finnish technical vocabulary since the mid-20th century and remains common in engineering, IT, and industrial settings.

Example: Laitoksen teknikoissa on paljon osaajia. This sentence means that there is a great deal of expertise among the technicians at the plant.
