Syöksymätä

Syöksymätä is a Finnish word that translates to "without diving" or "without plunging." It is a grammatical form, specifically the negative form of the third infinitive of the verb syöksyä, which means to dive, plunge, or rush.

The word is used in Finnish sentences to indicate that an action is not performed in a diving or plunging manner. For example, one might say "hevonen juoksi syöksymätä" which means "the horse ran without plunging." This implies the horse was running in a controlled or steady manner, rather than with a sudden, forceful movement.

The construction "syöksymätä" is an example of how Finnish uses its rich inflectional system to convey nuanced meanings. The negative participle form combined with the infinitive allows for precise expression of the absence of a particular type of action. It is a less common construction than some other verb forms, but it is grammatically correct and understandable within the Finnish language. Understanding such forms is key to a deeper comprehension of Finnish grammar and idiomatic usage.
