Kasvokkaisella

Kasvokkaisella is a Finnish adjective form used in technical or descriptive Finnish to denote something pertaining to the face or facial features. It is the adessive singular form, indicating location or surface on the face, as in phrases like kasvoille tarkoitetulla alueella or kasvojen alueen kasvoihin liittyvillä ominaisuuksilla.

Etymology and morphology: the term is built from the noun kasvo meaning face, combined with an adjectival- suffix that yields facial-related meaning. The base form in common language would be kasvokkainen, from which kasvokkaisella is the inflected form used in contexts requiring the adessive case. The word is relatively rare outside specialized texts.

Usage: kasvokkaisella appears primarily in anatomy, dermatology, cosmetology, forensic science, or digital image analysis where a surface or region on the face is being described. It is uncommon in everyday speech, where more general phrases such as kasvoihin liittyvä or kasvojen alueinen might be used instead. The term can help specify that a description or measurement concerns the face itself rather than other parts of the body or a whole entity.

See also: kasvo, kasvoihin liittyvä, kasvojen alue. Related concepts include facial anatomy and facial recognition terminology. Because the term is specialized, readers encountering kasvokkaisella are likely to find it in technical texts rather than conversational Finnish.
