herkkyydessään

Herkkyydessään is a Finnish word that translates to "in its sensitivity" or "in their sensitivity." It is the inessive case of the adjective or noun herkkyys, which means sensitivity. The word can be used to describe a state of being sensitive, or to refer to a particular instance or quality of sensitivity.

For example, one might say "Lapsi on herkkyydessään kauniisti havaittavissa" which translates to "The child is beautifully observable in its sensitivity." Here, "herkkyydessään" refers to the child's general state of sensitivity. Alternatively, one could say "Taiteilija ilmaisee tunteensa herkkyydessään teoksissaan" meaning "The artist expresses their emotions in their sensitivity in their works." In this case, "herkkyydessään" points to the specific way or manner in which the artist's sensitivity is manifested.

The concept of sensitivity itself can encompass a wide range of meanings, from emotional responsiveness and empathy to physical susceptibility to stimuli. The word herkkyydessään therefore takes on the nuances of the underlying "herkkyys" it refers to, adapting to the context in which it is used. It is a grammatical form that emphasizes the presence or manifestation of sensitivity within a subject or object.
