Irottamalla

Irottamalla is a Finnish adverbial participle form of the verb irrottaa, meaning to detach or remove. It expresses the means or method by which an action is performed, roughly translating to "by detaching" or "through detaching" in English. The form is commonly used in procedural, technical, and descriptive writing to specify how something is done.

In Finnish grammar, adverbial participles are formed with the -malla/-mällä suffix. Irottamalla belongs to this class and can introduce a clause that indicates the method of an action, similar to the English construction “by …ing.” It is not a standalone noun or concept, but a grammatical form that appears within sentences to convey manner or technique.

Usage examples:

- Irottamalla kiinnitysruuvin, kansi irtoaa. (By detaching the mounting screw, the cover comes loose.)

- Irottamalla liitin, moduulien toiminta voidaan testata. (By detaching the connector, the modules’ operation can be tested.)

Notes:

Irottamalla is primarily a grammatical form and is not typically treated as a separate concept or entry in standard references. It tends to appear in technical manuals, instruction sheets, and descriptive texts that emphasize process or method.
