tulkinnoissa

Tulkinnoissa is Finnish for “in the interpretations” and is the inessive plural form of the noun tulkinta, meaning interpretation or rendering. The word is used when discussing multiple interpretations of a text, phenomenon, or data in academic, literary, or general discourse. It signals that the subject is being considered from several possible viewpoints.

Morphology and usage notes: Tulkinnoissa is formed from the plural stem of tulkinta and the inessive plural suffix -issa. It is commonly used in scholarly writing to contrast different readings or understandings. The singular counterpart is tulkinnassa (“in the interpretation”), while the related forms tulkinnat (nominative plural) and tulkintojen (genitive plural) appear in different syntactic contexts. In everyday language, tulkinnoissa may appear in phrases such as “tämän teoksen tulkinnoissa” (in the interpretations of this work).

Context and examples: In literary criticism, tulkinnoissa can refer to how various readings of a text emphasize different themes or symbols. In philosophy or theology, it may describe how diverse interpretive approaches affect conclusions about meaning or doctrine. In historiography or social sciences, researchers discuss tulkinnoissa the influence of theoretical frameworks, evidence, and cultural context on how events are understood.
