liikuttamana

Liikuttamana is a Finnish participial form derived from the verb liikuttaa, meaning to move or to touch emotionally. In Finnish grammar, liikuttamana functions as a state or condition descriptor, indicating that someone or something has been moved, either physically or emotionally.

The form is used similarly to other participial adjectives in Finnish. It can appear in predicative position after a form of olla (to be) to describe a state, for example in literary or formal prose. It can also modify a noun in non-predicative use, conveying that the object has been moved or that an entity has caused movement. Because of its nuanced meaning, liikuttamana is more common in written, ceremonial, or descriptive contexts than in everyday speech.

Semantically, liikuttamana encompasses two related senses. In a physical sense, it can describe an object that has been moved from its original position. In an emotional sense, it conveys that a person has been emotionally touched or moved by something. The exact interpretation often depends on the surrounding context and the accompanying verbs or nouns.

Relation to related forms: liikuttavaa or liikutettu express different shades of movement or emotion. The root liikuttaa appears in various forms to indicate causation of motion or emotional impact, while liikutettu and other participles describe the state of being emotionally affected more directly.
