Tydellä

Tydellä is a Finnish word that translates to "with" in English. It is a preposition used to indicate accompaniment, means, or the manner in which something is done. The word is commonly used in everyday Finnish conversation and literature, often functioning similarly to "with" in English but with some nuanced differences in usage.

In Finnish, tydellä can be combined with various nouns, pronouns, or other grammatical structures to express relationships. For example, the phrase "minä syön leipää tydellä" translates to "I eat bread with" (though the sentence would typically require further context to be grammatically complete, such as "I eat bread with butter"). The preposition is often paired with the genitive case, though it can also appear with other cases depending on the context.

Tydellä is frequently used in expressions involving tools, instruments, or objects used alongside an action. For instance, "kirjoitan kynällä tydellä" means "I write with a pen." The word also appears in idiomatic phrases, such as "tulla tydellä" (to come along), where it conveys a sense of accompaniment rather than a literal translation.

The preposition is part of Finnish’s rich morphological system, where word endings (cases) indicate grammatical relationships. While tydellä shares similarities with English prepositions, its usage is deeply embedded in Finnish grammar and syntax, reflecting the language’s agglutinative nature. Mastery of tydellä and similar prepositions is essential for achieving fluency in Finnish.
