Edellytymällä

Edellytymällä is a Finnish word that translates to "by requiring" or "conditional on" in English. It is a grammatical form derived from the verb "edellyttää," which means "to require," "to presuppose," or "to necessitate." The suffix "-llä" indicates the adessive case, often used to express the means by which something is done or the condition under which it occurs.

In practice, "edellytymällä" signifies that an action, outcome, or state is contingent upon certain conditions being met. It implies that without the fulfillment of these prerequisites, the intended result will not materialize. For example, one might say that a promotion is granted "edellytymällä" a certain level of performance. This means the promotion is conditional upon achieving that performance standard.

The word is commonly used in formal contexts, such as legal documents, contracts, and official regulations, where precision regarding conditions and requirements is crucial. It can also appear in academic writing and general discourse when discussing obligations, prerequisites, or necessary steps for something to happen. Understanding "edellytymällä" is key to comprehending the conditional nature of many statements and agreements in Finnish.
