ikääntyvällä

The Finnish word "ikääntyvällä" is the adessive case of the participle "ikääntyvä." This participle is derived from the verb "ikääntyä," which means to age or to grow old. Therefore, "ikääntyvällä" translates to "by aging," "in the process of aging," or "while aging." It describes a state or an action occurring during the aging process.

This grammatical form is used to indicate the circumstances or manner in which something happens as a person or entity gets older. For example, one might say that certain abilities diminish "ikääntyvällä," meaning they diminish as one ages. It can also refer to the effects or conditions experienced by someone who is aging, such as feeling tired "ikääntyvällä." The adessive case often implies location or accompaniment, so "ikääntyvällä" can suggest that something is happening *in conjunction with* or *during the time of* aging. It is a descriptive term highlighting the ongoing nature of the aging process and its associated changes or experiences.
