karvoituksella

Karvoituksella is a Finnish grammatical form that means “with fur” or “by virtue of fur.” It is the adessive form of the noun karvoitus, which denotes hairiness or fur in general. In Finnish, the suffix -lla expresses means or accompaniment, so karvoituksella describes a characteristic tied to fur rather than a separate concept. The phrase is typically used in descriptive, scientific, or literary contexts to indicate that fur is the basis of a feature, such as insulation, camouflage, or appearance. Because Finnish often describes features by case forms, karvoituksella can appear in sentences such as: “Kissan karvoituksella on merkittävä vaikutus sen lämmöneristykseen” (The cat’s fur has a significant effect on its insulation) or “Eläin erottuu karvoituksellaan” (The animal stands out by its fur). The term is most common in zoological, ecological, or nature-writing contexts and is less likely to occur in everyday speech. Related words include karvoitus (the general state of being hairy), turkki (coat), karva (hair/strand), and karvapeite (fur coat). For readers studying Finnish, karvoituksella illustrates how the language encodes a distinguishing feature through the adessive case rather than a separate adjective.
