Kyvyllä

Kyvyllä is the adessive singular form of the Finnish noun kyky, meaning "ability" or "capability." In Finnish, kyvyllä is used to indicate the means, manner, or instrument by which an action is performed, roughly translating to "with the ability" or "by means of ability."

Grammatically, kyvyllä belongs to the adessive case, which has several uses, including indicating location on an object or the instrument or resource used to carry out an action. When applied to kyky, kyvyllä emphasizes the role of a person’s or system’s capacity in achieving a result; it often occurs with other instrumental terms such as taidolla (with skill) or kokemuksella (with experience).

Common contexts are descriptive or evaluative, for example: "Hän ratkaisi ongelman kyvyllä ja taidolla." and "Keskustelu eteni kyvyllä ja kärsivällisyydellä." These phrases highlight that ability, skill, or experience contributed to the outcome rather than incidental factors.

Notes: kyvyllä is a formal or neutral construction, typical in written Finnish, academic or journalistic contexts. It is not a separate meaning from "kyky" but a grammatical form that marks means or capability. Related forms include kyvyttömyys (inability) and other adessive instruments such as taidolla and kokemuksella.
