Finnish term or phrase: tiputussuppilo
Actually, it isn't so much the term per se as the whole sentence in which this word is embedded.

2,2 M n-butyylilitiumia (heksaanissa) lisätään tipoittain 92 ml:ann di-isopropyyliamiinia 300 ml:ssa THF:ää -50 - -60 oC:ssa 1000 ml:n yksikaulaisessa pullossa tiputussuppilon kautta ja typpiatmosfäärissä.

THF is BTW Tetrahydrofuran, or so I believe.

Too much going on here, I can't seem to figure out what n-butyllithium (in hexane) is being added by drops to exactly, there being several items in that flask apparently.

Explanation:
or drop funnel or tap funnel

There is 92 ml of diisopropyl amine dissolved in 300 ml of THF in the one-necked flask (volume of the flask 1000 ml). The 2.2 M solution of n-butyllithium in hexane is added dropwise to the amine solution via dropping funnel at the mentioned temperature under nitrogen atmosphere. The total volume of added n-butyllithium is not specified.

ml:aan (millilitraan) is illative, inessive would be ml:ssa (millilitrassa)

Thank you very much. I did interpret the sentence that way, so it is a good thing to get confirmation. Illative, yes, so nd I'm curious why the online parser suggested otherwise.
