verbeillä

Verbeillä is the Finnish term for the plural adessive form of verbi, the word meaning “verb.” In Finnish grammar, the adessive case (ending in -llä or -illä) marks location or accompaniment, so verbeillä literally translates to “on the verbs” or “with the verbs” when referring to multiple verbs. It is a grammatical form rather than a lexical entry, used in discussions about verbs as a word class.

Morphology and usage are straightforward: verbi is the singular noun meaning “verb,” and the adessive plural suffix -illä is attached to the stem to produce verbeillä. The corresponding singular form is verbiellä (on the verb). As a case form, verbeillä has no inherent meaning on its own; its sense comes from context, indicating location, presence, or association with multiple verbs.

In linguistic and educational contexts, verbeillä appears when treating verbs collectively or when illustrating Finnish case usage with examples involving more than one verb. It is common in grammar explanations, dictionaries, and language-learning materials that discuss how Finnish handles word classes and inflection, rather than in everyday conversation where more natural constructions are typically used.

Notes: The form verbeillä is a standard inflected form and should be analyzed within the broader framework of Finnish noun inflection and case endings.
