eriytävästi

Erittävästi is a Finnish word that is typically translated to English as "quite" or "very much indeed". It is an intensive form of the adverb erittäin, which is used to emphasize the degree of a particular quality or action.

In everyday language, erittävästi is often used to express a strong or intense feeling about something. For example, if someone is very impressed by a performance, they might say "Niihin natsimme erittävästi" which translates to "We jumped for joy very much indeed". It can also be used to indicate a strong opposition to an idea or suggestion, such as "Voin sanoa vasta erittävästi, että emmäpidä sanaa" which means "I can very much dislike the use of such language".

In formal writing and more neutral contexts, erittävästi is often translated as "to a great extent" or "in a significant way". For instance, in a scientific article, a researcher might write that a particular phenomenon occurs "erittävästi selkeämmin lämpimässä kuin kylmässä olosuhteissa", meaning "it occurs quite more clearly in warm rather than cold conditions".

The use of erittävästi can add nuance and complexity to Finnish sentences, highlighting the intensity or degree of a particular quality or action. However, its usage can also be nuanced, and its translation requires attention to context in order to capture the intended meaning accurately.
