tilavierailulla

Tilavierailulla is a Finnish term meaning "on-site visit." It refers to the act of visiting a facility, site, or location to observe operations, collect information, inspect conditions, or verify compliance. The term is widely used in business, journalism, research, and public administration to describe fieldwork conducted at a real site.

The word is formed from tila (place, facility) and vierailu (visit), with the locative suffix -lla, producing tilavierailulla, meaning "on the site visit" or "during an on-site visit." The base noun tilavierailu denotes the visit itself; tilavierailulla is the adessive form used to indicate that someone is on such a visit, as in "Johtaja on tilavierailulla tehtaalla."

Usage notes: In Finnish, tilavierailulla is commonly used in written and spoken Finnish to signal firsthand observation. It is often used in official communications, corporate reports, press releases, and field notes. In some contexts tilakäynti or paikan päällä tehtävä tarkastus may be preferred, but tilavierailu emphasizes the exploratory or evaluative aspect of the visit.
