merenlahtineen

merenlahtineen is a Finnish word that translates to "with its bays" or "of the bays." It is the elative plural case of the word "merenlahti," which itself is a compound of "meri" (sea) and "lahti" (bay). Therefore, "merenlahtineen" specifically refers to a situation or context involving multiple bays of the sea.

This grammatical form is used to express movement out of or from within these bays, or to describe something originating from or being contained within them. For example, a sentence might describe a boat sailing merenlahtineen, implying it is leaving from the area of several bays. Alternatively, it could refer to something found within these bays, such as fish merenlahtineen.

The word highlights the geographical characteristic of a coastline that is rich in indentations and inlets. Such coastlines are common in Finland, particularly along its southern and western shores, where the Baltic Sea features numerous archipelagos and complex shorelines. The use of "merenlahtineen" can evoke imagery of these scenic and varied coastal landscapes.
