Tarkentuessaan

Tarkentuessaan is a Finnish word that translates to "while refining," "upon clarification," or "as it becomes more precise." It is the adessive case of the temporal participle of the verb "tarkentaa," which means to refine, clarify, or specify.

The word is used to indicate a point in time when something is in the process of becoming more exact or detailed. For example, one might say that a plan is still developing "tarkentuessaan," meaning that the details are still being worked out. Similarly, a statement might be understood better "tarkentuessaan," implying that further explanation will make its meaning clearer.

In various contexts, tarkentuessaan can signify a transition from vagueness to specificity. It suggests an ongoing process of improvement or elaboration. This can apply to abstract concepts, physical objects, or actions. For instance, a scientific theory might be presented in a preliminary form and then undergo refinement, with new findings emerging "tarkentuessaan." The word captures the dynamic nature of gaining clarity or precision.
