komitatiivisena

The Finnish grammatical case "komitatiivisena" is an adverbial form of the komitatiivi case. While the komitatiivi itself typically expresses "with" or "together with" and is often formed by adding the ending -ne(n) to a noun, the komitatiivisena form functions as an adverb modifying a verb or another adjective. It describes the manner or circumstances under which an action is performed, similar to how adverbs of manner function in English. For instance, it can indicate that something is done in a particular state or condition. It is less common in modern Finnish than other adverbial forms, but it is still found in certain established phrases and expressions, often lending a slightly archaic or formal tone. Examples might include phrases describing someone acting or being in a specific way, as if they were accompanied by a certain quality or characteristic. The precise meaning and usage can be nuanced and depend heavily on context.
