Hydrolysoimalla

Hydrolysoimalla is a Finnish grammatical form used to denote action performed by hydrolysis. It is not a chemical species or a standalone process; rather, it functions as an adverbial participle that conveys the method of an action within a sentence. In scientific and technical Finnish, it often appears in procedural descriptions and experimental notes, where the method by which a transformation occurs is important. The typical English translation is "by hydrolyzing" or "through hydrolysis."

Mechanics: The form is derived from the verb hydrolysoida (to hydrolyze) and the adverbial suffix -malla. It is a non-finite, in-clause modifier that does not stand alone as a noun but rather modifies the action of the main clause. Because it is language-specific, it is rarely used in isolation in English-language texts and is usually rendered in full phrase form when translated.

Etymology: From hydrolysoida + -malla; "hydrolysoimalla" literally means "by hydrolyzing." It reflects Finnish morphology rather than a distinct scientific entity.

Usage notes: While widely understood by Finnish readers, it may cause confusion in multilingual contexts. When documenting protocols in English, translators typically replace it with "by hydrolyzing" or restructure the sentence to express the method more explicitly. See also hydrolysis; Finnish grammar.
