Yskäämällä

Yskäämällä is a Finnish word that translates to "by coughing" or "with a cough" in English. It is the adessive case of the noun yskä, which means "cough." The adessive case in Finnish is typically used to indicate location, possession, or means. In this context, "yskäämällä" refers to the act of coughing as a method or means to achieve something, or to describe something happening in conjunction with a cough.

For example, one might say "hän selvisi tilanteesta yskäämällä," which could be interpreted as "he got out of the situation by coughing" or "he managed the situation with a cough." This might imply a subtle or perhaps even deceptive use of coughing to distract or excuse oneself. Alternatively, it could describe a physical action occurring concurrently with a cough, such as "hän pudotti avaimensa yskäämällä," meaning "he dropped his keys while coughing." The specific meaning often depends on the broader context of the sentence. Finnish grammar, with its extensive case system, allows for nuanced expressions of action and circumstance, and "yskäämällä" is one such example that conveys the manner or accompanying nature of a cough.
