teollisissa

Teollisissa is a Finnish word that functions as the inessive plural form of the adjective teollinen, meaning industrial or manufacturing. It is used to describe nouns that are in the plural and in the inessive case, indicating location or context such as “in the industrial sector” or “in industrial settings.”

In Finnish grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. The base adjective teollinen can take different endings depending on the noun it accompanies. When the noun is plural and in the inessive case, teollinen becomes teollisissa. This form is then followed by a plural noun in the same case, for example teollisissa yrityksissä (in industrial companies) or teollisissa rakennuksissa (in industrial buildings).

Usage and nuance: teollisissa is commonly found in economic, industrial, and academic contexts to discuss aspects of industry, manufacturing, or industrial landscapes. It is not a standalone noun; it functions as part of a larger noun phrase describing characteristics or locations related to industry.

Related terms include teollisuus (industry), teollinen (industrial), and other inflected forms of teollinen used in various cases and numbers. The word reflects Finnish’s system of adjective declension, where meaning is conveyed through endings rather than fixed articles.
