tieteellisissä

Tieteellisissä is the inessive plural form of the Finnish adjective tieteellinen, meaning "scientific." It is used with plural nouns to express location or context, roughly translating to "in scientific ..." The form appears in common phrases such as tieteellisissä piireissä (in scientific circles), tieteellisissä julkaisuissa (in scientific publications), and tieteellisissä kirjoituksissa (in scientific writings). It is a frequent feature in academic discourse, formal reporting, and journalism when referring to scientific contexts.

In Finnish grammar, tieteellinen agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case; the nominative plural is tieteelliset, the inessive singular is tieteellisessä, and the inessive plural is tieteellisissä. This pattern is part of the broader system of adjective inflection in Finnish, where adjectives take the appropriate ending to match the noun they describe.

Etymology and use: tieteellinen is derived from tiede, meaning science or knowledge, with the suffix -ellinen forming the adjective “scientific.” The word exhibited in its inessive plural form tieteellisissä signals that the statement relates to a scientific context or environment and is typically found in written Finnish, though it also appears in formal spoken language.
