kristillisellä

The term "kristillisellä" is the adessive case of the Finnish word "kristillinen," which translates to "Christian" in English. In Finnish grammar, the adessive case is used to indicate location, possession, or accompaniment. Therefore, "kristillisellä" can be interpreted as "on a Christian basis," "with Christian," or "by Christian" depending on the context of the sentence.

For example, a phrase like "kristillisellä opetuksella" would mean "with Christian teaching" or "through Christian education." Similarly, "kristillisellä seurakunnalla" translates to "with a Christian congregation" or "at a Christian church." The specific meaning is determined by the noun it modifies and the overall sentence structure.

The adjective "kristillinen" itself refers to something relating to or characteristic of Christianity. This can encompass beliefs, practices, values, or individuals associated with the Christian faith. When used in its adessive form, "kristillisellä," it applies this Christian characteristic to the grammatical function of the adessive case, indicating a connection or association.
