Iämyttämällä

The Finnish word "iämyttämällä" is an adverbial form derived from the verb "iämyttää". "Iämyttää" itself is a less common verb, often associated with a sense of making something last, or prolonging its existence or effect. "Iämyttämällä" therefore describes an action or state that is achieved through or by means of prolonging or extending something.

The nuance of "iämyttämällä" lies in the continuous or extended nature of the action. It suggests that a result is obtained not through a sudden or brief effort, but through a sustained and deliberate process of making something endure. For example, one might achieve a certain outcome "iämyttämällä" a particular method or resource, implying that the prolonged application of that method or resource is what leads to the desired result.

The etymology points to "iä" meaning eternity or age, and "myttää" which can relate to holding or keeping. Thus, "iämyttää" carries the connotation of keeping something for a long time or making it last indefinitely. Consequently, "iämyttämällä" describes the manner in which something is done, emphasizing the aspect of longevity and sustained effort in its execution.
