Näisesti

"Näisesti" is a Finnish adverb that translates to "in that way," "thus," "accordingly," or "as follows" in English. It is commonly used to indicate that something is done or happens in a particular manner or that a subsequent statement or action follows logically from what has been said or done before.

The word "näisesti" is derived from the demonstrative pronoun "näin," which means "this way" or "like this." The suffix "-sti" is a common adverbial ending in Finnish. Therefore, "näisesti" literally means "in this way" or "in that way."

It can be used to refer back to a previously mentioned action, state, or method. For example, if someone describes a method of doing something, a listener might respond by saying, "Tein sen näisesti," meaning "I did it this way."

"Näisesti" also functions as a conjunction to introduce a clause that explains or clarifies a preceding statement, similar to "as follows" or "namely." For instance, "Hän sanoi seuraavaa, näisesti: 'Tapaamme huomenna.'" translates to "He said the following, namely: 'We will meet tomorrow.'"

In a more general sense, "näisesti" can simply indicate a manner or consequence. "Toimimme näisesti" means "We will act accordingly" or "We will proceed in that manner." The specific nuance depends heavily on the context in which it is used.
