veitsissä

Veitsissä is a Finnish linguistic term describing a specific grammatical form. It is the inessive plural form of veitsi, meaning “in the knives.” The word is used to indicate a location inside multiple knives, such as those found in a knife block, cutlery drawer, or knife collection.

Morphology: The base noun veitsi means “knife.” To express location inside something, Finnish uses the inessive case; for singular, veitsessä is used, and for plural, veitsissä. Thus veitsissä is formed by adding the plural inessive suffix to the stem veitsi. The form reflects Finnish vowel harmony and standard noun inflection patterns.

Usage: Veitsissä appears in descriptive or enumerative contexts. Example: Veitsissä on erikokoisia teriä, meaning “There are blades of various sizes among the knives.” It can be used in sentences discussing contents, storage, or arrangement of a knife set or drawer.

Notes: This form is a standard part of Finnish morphology and is not tied to a specific domain beyond descriptions involving knives. Related terms include veitsi (knife) and the Finnish case system.
