esittelyllä

Esittelyllä is the adessive singular form of the Finnish noun esittely, meaning a presentation, introduction, or demonstration. In usage, esittelyllä marks the means or context in which an action occurs, roughly translating to “with a presentation” or “in a presentation.” The adessive case -llä/-llä is used in Finnish to indicate means, instrument, or context, and esittelyllä is common in formal or informational texts describing how information is conveyed.

Etymology and morphology: The word is formed from esittely plus the adessive suffix -llä. The base esittely derives from the verb esittää, meaning “to present” or “to display,” so esittely refers to a presentation or demonstration.

Usage: Esittelyllä appears as an adverbial or instrumental complement. It can indicate method (how something is presented) or the context of a presentation. It is frequent in conference programs, project reports, and exhibitions. Examples: “Katsaus annettiin esittelyllä, jossa käytettiin diaesityksiä.” “Hanke esiteltiin esittelyllä kahdessa osassa.” In casual language, speakers may prefer alternatives such as “esityksen yhteydessä” or “esitys.”

Related terms: esittely (presentation), esittelytilaisuus (presentation event), diaesitys (slide show), esitystapa (presentation method).
