Psyykkisillä

Psyykkisillä is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective psyykkinen, meaning related to the mind, psyche, or psychic phenomena. It is the adessive plural form used to describe plural nouns in the adessive case, for example psyykkisillä kyvyillä (with psychic abilities) or psyykkisillä ilmiöillä (with psychic phenomena). In ordinary Finnish, the form signals that the described qualities or phenomena pertain to the mind or mental processes and are attributed to the noun it modifies.

Etymology and grammar: The word derives from the Finnish root psyykk-, connected to psychology and the mind, and the standard adjective suffix -inen. The plural nominative would be psyykkiset, and the corresponding adessive plural is psyykkisillä. This pattern mirrors how adjectives agree with nouns in number and case in Finnish. The form is common in both scientific-ish discussion and popular writing about paranormal or fictional topics, but it is not a separate lexical entry with a distinct meaning beyond the adjective sense.

Usage: Psyykkisillä typically appears in contexts dealing with mental or paranormal themes. It is more common in popular culture, folklore, or parapsychology discussions than in formal scientific discourse, where more precise terms (such as psykologinen for psychological) may be preferred. The phrase often accompanies nouns like kyvyillä, ilmiöillä, toiminnoilla, or kapasiteeteilla to indicate that these things are psychic in character.

Examples:

- Hänet on kuvailtu psyykkisillä kyvyillään jollain tavoin erityiseksi. (He has been described as special with his psychic abilities.)

- Tarinoissa esiintyy psyykkisillä ilmiöillä viittavia tapahtumia, kuten telekinesia.
