Viimeisellä

"Viimeisellä" is a Finnish word that translates to "last" or "on the last" in English. It is the adessive case of the word "viimeinen," which means "last" or "final." The adessive case in Finnish is typically used to indicate location, possession, or the means by which something is done. Therefore, "viimeisellä" can convey concepts such as being in the last position, on the last item, or at the end of a sequence.

The word's usage is highly dependent on context. For example, "viimeisellä rivillä" means "on the last row" or "in the last line." If referring to time, "viimeisellä hetkellä" translates to "at the last moment." It can also be used in a more abstract sense, such as "viimeisellä sijalla," meaning "in the last place" or "in last position." The grammatical structure of Finnish requires the addition of case endings to nouns and adjectives to modify their meaning and function within a sentence, and "viimeisellä" is an example of this inflectional system. Understanding the nuances of Finnish cases is crucial for interpreting the precise meaning of "viimeisellä" in any given sentence.
