Jäädessä

Jäädessä is a Finnish word that functions as a temporal conjunction and adverb. It literally translates to "while remaining" or "upon remaining." In common usage, it signifies an action or state that occurs concurrently with or as a result of a preceding situation, often implying a pause, delay, or a state of being.

The word is derived from the verb "jäädä," which means to stay, remain, or be left. The "-essä" suffix indicates the inessive case, which in this context conveys a sense of "in the state of" or "while being in." Therefore, "jäädessä" describes a situation happening within the duration or context of remaining.

For example, one might say "Hän nukahti jäädessään junassa" which translates to "He fell asleep while remaining on the train" or more naturally, "He fell asleep on the train." The word highlights the continuity of the state of being on the train during the action of falling asleep. It can also imply that something happened unexpectedly or as a consequence of a period of inactivity or waiting. The precise nuance can depend on the surrounding sentence structure and context, but the core idea revolves around an event occurring during or as a result of a state of remaining or being in place.
