Ionisoimalla

Ionisoimalla is the Finnish gerund form of the verb ionisoida, meaning to ionize. In linguistic terms, it functions as a method-oriented form that expresses how a process is accomplished, roughly translating to "by ionizing" or "through ionization." It is commonly used in scientific Finnish to indicate that ionization is the enabling step in a procedure or reaction.

The term is typically found in technical or research texts, where authors describe processes or analyses that rely on creating ions. Ionisoimalla can introduce the method by which a transformation occurs, without changing the focus to the outcome alone. It is closely related to the noun ionisaatio, which denotes ionization as a concept, and to the verb ionisoida and its passive or related forms.

Contexts where ionisoimalla appears include areas such as mass spectrometry, where molecules are converted into ions for detection; plasma physics and gas discharge studies; radiation chemistry and environmental analysis; and various branches of physics and chemistry that examine ionized species and their reactions. The construction is neutral and descriptive, suitable for outlining experimental approaches or theoretical discussions about ionization-based mechanisms.

In English, the closest equivalents are "by ionizing" or "through ionization." In Finnish texts, ionisoimalla helps specify that the subsequent steps or outcomes depend on the ionization process itself, rather than on non-ionizing pathways.
