erillisenään

erillisenään is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the translative case of the third infinitive in the Finnish language, used with the possessive suffix for the third person. This construction indicates a state of being separate or apart, often implying a gradual change or a result. For instance, it can be used to describe something becoming its own entity or being set aside.

The form is created by taking the third infinitive stem, adding the suffix -seen, and then attaching the third-person possessive suffix, which is -än. For example, the verb "olla" (to be) has the third infinitive stem "ole-". Adding "-seen" gives "oleseen". With the third-person possessive suffix, it becomes "oleksissaan" which translates roughly to "in its being," or "in his/her/its own state of being." However, "erillisenään" is a specific lexical item that functions similarly.

This form emphasizes distinctness or isolation. It conveys a sense of something standing alone, having separated from a larger whole, or being distinct from its usual context. The translative case itself implies a transformation or a change into something else, and when combined with the possessive suffix, it highlights this transformation as belonging to the subject. The precise meaning often depends on the context of the sentence in which it appears.
