yhdistyslauseilla

Yhdistyslauseilla is a Finnish term that can be understood as the plural adessive form of yhdistyslause, roughly translating to “with association clauses.” The phrase is used in formal, often legal or bureaucratic, language to indicate provisions that pertain to associations or organizations. Because yhdistyslause itself is not a common everyday word, yhdistyslauseilla tends to appear mainly in drafting notes, regulatory texts, or linguistic discussions about how to phrase clauses relating to associations.

Etymology and form: The word is built from yhdistys (association/organization) and lause (clause), combined into a compound noun. The suffix -illa marks the adessive case, signaling “with” or “by means of,” and the plural form aligns with multiple clauses. This makes yhdistyslauseilla a way to refer collectively to clauses that involve or reference associations within a document.

Usage and context: In Finnish legal and administrative drafting, the phrase signals that certain provisions, conditions, or references are tied to an organization or a set of organizations. It is not a widely standardized term outside specialist texts, and readers may encounter more explicit phrasing such as “yhdistyksen määräämät …” or “hyödyntäen yhdistysklauseita” depending on the context. The concept highlights how Finnish uses compound nouns and case endings to express relationships between clauses and entities like associations.
