Ilmeessään

Ilmeessään is a Finnish word that translates to "in his/her/its expression" or "in his/her/its look." It is a possessive form of the noun "ilme," which means "expression" or "look." The suffix "-ssään" indicates a third-person possessive, meaning the expression belongs to someone or something.

This word is commonly used when describing how someone appears or what can be inferred from their facial expression or general demeanor. For example, one might say "Suru oli ilmeessään" which translates to "Sadness was in his/her/its expression." This implies that the person's sadness was evident through their face.

The word can also be used in a more general sense to describe the overall impression or appearance of something. For instance, "Talossa oli hienostunut ilmeessään" could mean "The house had a refined look to it." Here, "ilmeessään" refers to the house's aesthetic or overall presentation.

The grammatical structure of "ilmeessään" combines the noun "ilme" with the locative case suffix "-ssä" (meaning "in") and the third-person possessive suffix "-än." This makes it a compact way to convey possession and location simultaneously in Finnish. It is a versatile word used to describe both human emotions and the outward appearance of inanimate objects or places.
