hakemisella

Hakemisella is a Finnish linguistic term describing the adessive form of the noun derived from the verb hakea, meaning to seek or to apply. The form hakemisella functions to indicate the means or instrument by which an action is performed, roughly translating to “by applying” or “with applying” in English.

Formation and grammar: Hakemisella is formed from hakeminen, the noun meaning the act of applying, or from the verb hakea, combined with the adessive suffix -lla, which marks instrumentality. In sentences, hakemisella can modify a clause to express the method or process used to achieve an outcome. It is commonly encountered in formal or bureaucratic Finnish and in discourses where the procedure or mechanism is being described.

Usage and nuance: As an instrumental or means-oriented adjunct, hakemisella signals how something is done rather than what is done. It is distinct from the bare action noun hakeminen (the act of applying) and from other case forms of related nouns. In practice, it is used to emphasize the method or channel through which an action occurs, often in documentation or procedural texts.
