ihmeissään

ihmeissään is a Finnish word that functions as an adverb. It is derived from the word ihme, meaning "wonder" or "miracle." The suffix -issään indicates the inessive case, which can be translated as "in" or "within." Therefore, ihmeissään literally translates to "in their wonder" or "in their amazement."

When used in a sentence, ihmeissään conveys a state of surprise, astonishment, or bewilderment. It describes someone who is taken aback by something unexpected or remarkable. The feeling expressed is one of being filled with wonder. It can be used to describe a reaction to a positive or negative event, depending on the context. For instance, someone might be ihmeissään at a beautiful sunset or ihmeissään at a sudden turn of events. It implies a temporary state of being, a reaction rather than a permanent characteristic. The word is commonly used in everyday spoken and written Finnish.
