Kirjoittaessanne

Kirjoittaessanne is a Finnish word that translates to "while you are writing" or "as you write." It is the translative case of the present active participle of the verb kirjoittaa, which means "to write." The translative case in Finnish describes a change of state or condition, so kirjoittaessanne literally means "into the state of writing."

This word is often used to give instructions or advice related to the act of writing. For example, one might say "Muistakaa tarkistaa oikeinkirjoitus kirjoittaessanne," which translates to "Remember to check spelling while you are writing." It can also be used in contexts where a person is performing another action simultaneously with writing, such as "Hän lauloi hiljaa kirjoittaessanne" meaning "He sang quietly as you were writing."

The grammatical structure of "kirjoittaessanne" involves the verb stem "kirjoita-" combined with the present active participle suffix "-essa-" and the second-person plural possessive suffix "-nne." This suffix indicates that the action of writing is being done by "you" (plural or polite singular). Understanding the nuances of Finnish case endings is crucial for comprehending the precise meaning of such words.
