Mahdollisella

Mähdollisella is the adessive singular form of the Finnish adjective mahdollinen, meaning "possible" or "feasible." It functions as an inflected descriptor that accompanies a noun and situates the noun in a context where something is considered possible. It is not a standalone word with a separate lexical meaning; its sense comes from mahdollinen and the adessive case.

In usage, mahdollisella appears in phrases indicating manner, basis, or context. Common collocations include mahdollisella tavalla (in a possible/feasible way), mahdollisella pohjalla (on a possible basis), and mahdollisella aikataululla (on a possible schedule). The adessive case marks context rather than location in time or possession.

Forms and grammar: Finnish adjectives agree with the noun in number and case. The singular adessive form is mahdollisella, while the plural adessive is mahdollisilla. Other case forms include genitive mahdollisen and illative mahdolliseen, depending on the grammatical role in the sentence.

Etymology: mahdollinen is formed from the noun mahdollisuus (possibility) with the adjectival suffix -inen. The adessive ending -lla/-llä is added to the stem mahdollis-, producing mahdollisella in the singular.

Usage notes: mahdollisella is most common in formal or descriptive Finnish, especially in writing about feasibility, planning, or evaluation where a condition of possibility is being qualified. It remains a grammatical inflection of the adjective rather than a separate semantic item. See also Finnish grammar and adjectives.
