Psyykkisesti

Psyykkisesti is a Finnish adverb meaning "mentally" or "psychically." It describes the relation of a state, action, or phenomenon to the psyche or mental processes. The word is formed by adding the adverbial suffix -isesti to a root associated with the psyche, and it is used in both everyday language and more formal styles to discuss mental aspects.

Etymology and usage: The root is linked to the concept of the psyche, with the standard adverbial suffix -isesti forming the modifier. The spelling and pronunciation follow Finnish orthography, and the form is typically lowercased, except at the beginning of sentences or in titles where it appears as Psyykkisesti.

Usage in context: The adverb is common in psychology, psychiatry, philosophy of mind, and literary discourse, as well as in discussions of mental health or paranormal claims. Examples include: “Psyykkisesti kuormittunut potilas tarvitsee lepoa.” and “Tutkimus tarkastelee psyykkisiä vaikutuksia stressiin.” The term tends to appear in more formal or academic writing, though it can also be encountered in journalistic or reflective prose.
