Kiväärillä

Kiväärillä is a Finnish word that translates to "with a rifle" or "by rifle." It is a grammatical case form, specifically the adessive case, of the noun "kivääri," which means "rifle." The adessive case in Finnish is used to indicate accompaniment, instrument, or location on a surface. Therefore, "kiväärillä" denotes that something is being done using a rifle as an instrument, or in relation to a rifle. For example, "hän ampui kiväärillä" translates to "he shot with a rifle." It can also be used to express being in the vicinity of a rifle, such as "lipas oli kiväärillä" meaning "the magazine was on the rifle." The context of the sentence determines the precise meaning of "kiväärillä." This grammatical construction is common in Finnish and many other Finno-Ugric languages.
