Molekyylissään

Molekyylissään is a Finnish word that translates to "in its molecule" or "within its molecule" in English. It is a possessive form of the word "molekyyli," which means molecule. This grammatical construction is used to describe something that is part of, contained within, or characteristic of a molecule.

For example, one might say "veden molekyylissään kaksi vetyatomia" which translates to "in its molecule, water has two hydrogen atoms." This phrase indicates that the hydrogen atoms are a component of the water molecule itself. Similarly, a scientific description might refer to the properties or the structure that are "molekyylissään" to highlight that these features are intrinsic to the molecule's composition.

The use of "molekyylissään" is common in scientific and technical contexts in Finnish, particularly when discussing chemistry, physics, and biology. It serves to precisely locate a feature or property within the fundamental unit of a substance. The possessive ending "-ssään" denotes that the molecule is being referred to in a third-person context, implying it belongs to a subject already mentioned or understood.
