lyhdyksessä is a Finnish word that translates to "in short" or "briefly" in English. It is commonly used as an adverbial phrase to introduce a concise summary or explanation of a longer topic. The word is formed by combining "lyhyt" meaning "short" and the inessive case ending "-ssä" which denotes "in" or "inside".
