esittämänä

Esittämänä is a Finnish word that translates to "performed by," "presented by," or "played by" in English. It is the adjectival passive past participle of the verb esittää, which means to perform, present, or play. The word is typically used to indicate who or what is responsible for a performance, presentation, or rendition.

In the context of music, esittämänä is commonly used to denote the performer or orchestra playing a piece of music. For example, "Beethovenin viides sinfonia, esittämänä Berliinin filharmonikot" would mean "Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, performed by the Berlin Philharmonic." Similarly, in theater, it can refer to the actor or group who performed a role or play. "Hamlet, esittämänä Matti Virtanen" indicates that Matti Virtanen played the role of Hamlet.

The phrase can also extend to other forms of presentation, such as lectures, exhibitions, or even spoken words. If someone is recounting a story told by another, they might say, "Tarina, esittämänä vanhalta mieheltä," meaning "The story, told by the old man." The grammatical form esittämänä implies that the action of presenting or performing has already occurred. It functions as an adjective modifying a noun, describing it by its performer or presenter.
