normaalisesti

Normaalisesti is a Finnish word that translates to "normally" or "as usual" in English. It is a commonly used adverb in everyday conversation and writing. The word is formed by adding the adverbial suffix -sti to the adjective normaali, meaning "normal."

The usage of normaalisesti implies that a situation or action is occurring in the expected or customary way, without any unusual deviations. For example, one might say "Kaikki sujui normaalisesti kokouksessa" which translates to "Everything went normally at the meeting." It can also be used to describe a state of being, such as "Hän voi nyt normaalisesti" meaning "He is now feeling normally."

In certain contexts, normaalisesti can also carry a subtle implication of relief or a return to a desired state after a period of abnormality. If someone has been ill and then says "Nyt olen normaalisesti," it signifies their recovery and return to their usual health.

The word's versatility allows it to fit into a wide range of sentences, making it a fundamental part of the Finnish lexicon for describing routine, expected occurrences, and the absence of the unusual. Its straightforward construction from a common adjective contributes to its widespread understanding and frequent use.
