Kontrolloidessa

Kontrolloidessa is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb kontrolloida, meaning to control or monitor. It denotes the act of controlling in progress and is used to express simultaneous action in a non-finite clause. In English, it is roughly equivalent to “while controlling” or “in the act of controlling.” The form commonly appears in technical, analytical, or descriptive writing.

Grammatical function and formation: Kontrolloidessa is a present adverbial participle used to mark an action that occurs simultaneously with another event described in the main clause. It is formed by attaching the suffix -essa to the verb stem, yielding kontrolloidessa from kontrolloida. This construction provides circumstantial information about the manner, time, or condition of the main verb and is typical of formal Finnish prose.

Usage and examples: The form is more common in formal or technical Finnish. Example: Kontrolloidessa tilannetta, operatiivinen tiimi pystyi reagoimaan nopeasti. Another example: Kontrolloidessa järjestelmää, turvallisuustoimenpiteet käynnistyivät automaattisesti. These clauses illustrate how kontrolloidessa conveys concurrent action without making the main clause finite.

Relation to other forms: It contrasts with the present active participle kontrolloiva and other non-finite forms. The usage of kontrolloidessa is primarily in written Finnish, especially in technical, scientific, or analytical contexts where precise circumstantial information is desirable.
