lämpöisesti

lämpöisesti is a Finnish adverb that translates to "warmly" in English. It is derived from the adjective lämmin, meaning "warm." The adverb lämpöisesti can be used in various contexts to describe the manner in which something is done, emphasizing a feeling of warmth, cordiality, or enthusiasm.

It is often used to describe how someone is greeted or received, for example, "Hänet toivotettiin lämpöisesti tervetulleeksi" which means "He was warmly welcomed." This suggests a friendly and enthusiastic reception. The adverb can also describe how something is expressed, such as a "lämpöisesti sanottu kiitos" or "a warmly expressed thank you," indicating sincerity and heartfelt gratitude.

Furthermore, lämpöisesti can refer to a physical sensation of warmth, though this usage is less common than its figurative applications. For instance, one might say "Aurinko lämpöisesti paistoi" meaning "The sun shone warmly." In essence, lämpöisesti conveys a positive and often affectionate sentiment, whether in social interactions or descriptions of feelings and expressions. It adds a layer of emotional depth and sincerity to the action or state being described.
