Työskennellätyöskentelemällä

Työskennellätyöskentelemällä is a Finnish grammatical construction that combines the infinitive verb "työskennellä" (to work) with the instructive case of the present active participle, "työskentelemällä" (by working). This structure is used to express the method or means by which an action is achieved. It signifies that the action of working is the instrument or way through which something else is accomplished.

For example, one might say "Hän oppi uusia taitoja työskentelemällä" which translates to "He learned new skills by working." In this sentence, "työskentelemällä" clearly indicates that the act of working was the method through which the learning occurred. The construction emphasizes the process and the active engagement in work as the cause of a result.

This grammatical form is common in Finnish and allows for nuanced expression of cause and effect, highlighting how a particular outcome is brought about through dedicated effort or action. It is distinct from simply stating that someone is working, as it directly links the act of working to a consequence or a manner of achieving something. The "-llä" ending on the participle signifies the instrumental or adverbial function.
