todisteissa

Todisteissa is an inflected Finnish noun form meaning “in the evidence.” It is the inessive plural form of todiste, which refers to evidence or proof. The construction is used to indicate location or containment within the pieces of evidence, especially in legal, academic, or journalistic contexts.

Morphology and usage

Todiste is a Finnish noun whose plural nominative is todisteet. The inessive plural, denoting “in the evidence,” is formed by adding the inessive plural suffix -issa/-issä, producing todisteissa. This form is typically used when discussing what is contained, stated, or supported within the evidentiary material. It often appears in phrases such as todisteissa esitetyt seikat (the matters presented in the evidence) or todisteissa mainitut väitteet (the assertions mentioned in the evidence).

Context and nuances

In legal language, todisteissa serves to anchor statements to specific parts of the evidentiary record. In scientific or investigative writing, it can indicate information that is supported by the documented evidence. The word is common in formal Finnish and can be contrasted with singular inessive todisteessa (in the evidence) or with other cases referring to evidence as a whole.
