Pigmenteillä

Pigmenteillä is the adessive plural form of the Finnish noun pigmentti, commonly translated as "with pigments" or "by means of pigments." As an inflected grammatical form, pigmenteillä expresses accompaniment, instrumentality or location in contexts where more than one pigment is involved.

The base word pigmentti denotes colored substances that impart color to materials in art, cosmetics, biology and industry. The adessive case in Finnish frequently corresponds to English constructions using "with," "on" or "by," so pigmenteillä appears in sentences describing materials, techniques and surface properties. Example: Taulu on tehty pigmenteillä (The painting is made with pigments).

Usage is common in descriptions of painting techniques, formulation of dyes and inks, and discussions of natural coloration in plants and animals. As a morphologically derived form, pigmenteillä participates in Finnish case system patterns and contrasts with other forms such as the nominative pigmentit (pigments), partitive pigmentejä, and genitive pigmenttien. The term itself is a language-level variant tied to the international lexical root shared with many European languages for "pigment," but its specific role and meaning derive from Finnish morphology and syntax.
