Muodostavilla

Muodostavilla is a Finnish grammatical form that arises from the verb muodostaa, meaning to form or to create. It is the present active participle muodostava in its adessive plural form, used as an adjective to describe nouns in plural when expressing means, agents, or circumstances related to forming something. In Finnish, the adessive case (ending -lla) indicates a location or context, so muodostavilla functions as “with forming …” or “in forming …” when attached to a plural noun.

In practice, muodostavilla appears in descriptive or technical prose to discuss processes or methods of formation. For example, muodostavilla tavoilla can be translated as “in forming ways” or “by forming methods,” and muodostavilla keinoilla as “with forming means” or “by formative means.” The form helps emphasize the role of the agents, tools, or approaches involved in forming or creating something.

Relation to other forms: muodostava as a base participle has other inflected forms such as muodostavan (genitive singular) and muodostavat (nominative plural). Muodostavilla is specifically the adessive plural adjective form used to modify plural nouns. Its usage tends to be more common in formal, academic, or methodological contexts.
