Käytökseltään

käytökseltään is a Finnish adverbial form that describes how someone behaves or acts in a particular manner. It is derived from the noun "käytös" meaning behavior or conduct, with the adessive case ending "-ltään" indicating the manner in which the behavior is exhibited. This construction is commonly used to describe someone's characteristic behavior or actions in specific situations.

In Finnish grammar, this word follows the regular adessive case formation and is typically used with third-person singular pronouns. It can be translated to English as "in their behavior," "in their actions," or "in their conduct." The form changes depending on the subject, with "käytökseltänsä" being the reflexive form used when the subject and object are the same.

This adverbial construction is frequently employed in descriptive contexts to characterize individuals' actions or demeanor. For example, "Hän oli käytökseltään kohtelias" means "He/she was polite in their behavior." The word helps convey nuanced information about how someone conducts themselves, often providing insight into their personality or disposition in specific circumstances.

Similar constructions can be formed with other nouns using the same adessive case ending, allowing for flexible expression of manner in Finnish.
