liittäessään

Liittäessään is a Finnish verb form. It is the translative case of the third infinitive of the verb "liittää," which means "to attach," "to join," or "to connect." The translative case in Finnish often expresses a change of state or condition, translating roughly to "when one attaches," "upon attaching," or "by attaching." Therefore, "liittäessään" indicates an action of attaching or joining that is happening concurrently with another action or as a cause of a change. For example, in the sentence "Hän onnistui avaamaan oven liittäessään avaimen lukkoon," the phrase "liittäessään avaimen lukkoon" means "when he attached the key to the lock" or "upon inserting the key into the lock," and it describes the action that enabled him to open the door. This grammatical structure highlights a temporal or causal relationship between the act of attaching and the subsequent event. The third infinitive form itself signifies a potential or intended action, and when combined with the translative case, it emphasizes the completion or the immediate consequence of that action in relation to another event.
