Etäämmällä

Etäämmällä is a Finnish word that translates to "further away" or "at a greater distance" in English. It is a common adverb used to indicate spatial separation. The word is formed by combining the adjective "etä-" meaning "distant" or "far" with the adverbial suffix "-mmällä" which denotes a comparative or locative state. Therefore, it signifies being in a place or position that is more distant than another point of reference.

For instance, one might say "Mennään etäämmällä" which means "Let's go further away." This could refer to physically moving to a location that is farther from the current position, or it could be used metaphorically to suggest moving away from a particular topic or idea. The exact nuance depends on the context in which it is used. Etäämmällä can also imply a broader separation, not just in terms of physical space but also in abstract terms such as emotional distance or conceptual divergence. The word is versatile and frequently encountered in everyday Finnish conversation.
