Täyttyessään

"Täyttyessään" is a Finnish word that translates to "when full" or "upon being filled." It is a conditional form of the verb "täyttyä," which means to become full or to be filled. The suffix "-ssään" indicates a conditional state or a situation where something is in the process of becoming full or is already full.

This word can be used in various contexts. For example, in a sentence like "Laukku täyttyessään oli painava," it means "The bag, when full, was heavy." Here, "täyttyessään" describes the state of the bag. In another instance, "Astia täyttyessään alkoi vuotaa," it translates to "The container, upon being filled, started to leak." This usage emphasizes the moment or the consequence of becoming full.

The word is employed to describe the state of being filled, whether it refers to a physical container, a metaphorical space, or even a feeling or emotion reaching its limit. It can signify the completion of a filling process or the condition that exists once something is full. The grammatical structure highlights a cause-and-effect relationship or a simultaneous state. For example, "Hänen odotuksensa täyttyessään hän oli onnellinen" means "When his expectations were met, he was happy." This illustrates how "täyttyessään" can describe the fulfillment of abstract concepts.
