Muuttamattomana

Muuttamattomana is a Finnish adverb meaning “in an unchanging way” or “as unchanged.” It describes a state or condition that remains the same over time or under certain circumstances. The term is the adverbial form of the adjective muuttamaton, meaning unchanged or immutable.

Grammatical notes: The adverb is formed by adding the suffix -na/-nä to the adjective muuttamaton. In Finnish, the suffix -na/-nä expresses manner or state of being. The word is typically used with verbs that express persistence or invariance, such as pysyä or säilyä: for example, Laki pysyi muuttamattomana muutosten keskellä. Kansanperinteet ovat säilyneet muuttamattomana vuosisatojen ajan.

Usage and contexts: Muuttamattomana appears mainly in formal, literary, or philosophical contexts. In theology, it can describe the changeless nature of a divine attribute. In science and law, it can describe a baseline or reference state that remains unchanged despite variations elsewhere. In computing discussions, Finnish typically uses the adjective muuttumaton or the noun muuttumattomuus to describe immutability of data, but muuttamattomana may still be encountered in descriptive or comparative phrasing.
