These elements serve to remove ambiguity and provide a clearer understanding of the intended meaning.

In Finnish grammar, täsmentävillä can take various forms. They might be adverbs, prepositional phrases, or even subordinate clauses that elaborate on the subject, verb, or object of the main clause.
