lähestymällä

lähestymällä is the illative plural form of the Finnish verb lähestyä, which means "to approach" or "to come near." In this grammatical context, it signifies a movement or action directed towards something in a plural sense. The illative case in Finnish indicates movement into or towards a place, state, or condition. Therefore, lähestymällä describes the act of multiple entities moving closer to a common point or goal. This can be interpreted literally, as in several people or objects physically moving towards each other, or figuratively, as in a group collectively advancing towards a shared objective or understanding. The word emphasizes the process of getting closer, the journey rather than the destination itself, and the coordinated or collective nature of this movement. It conveys a sense of progression and unity among the subjects performing the action.
