opiskellessamme

Opiskellessamme is a Finnish word that translates to "while we study" or "during our studies." It is a temporal adverbial form derived from the verb "opiskella," which means "to study." The "-mme" suffix indicates the first-person plural possessive, signifying "our." Therefore, the word literally means "in the time of our studying."

This word is commonly used in educational contexts in Finland. For instance, a teacher might say, "Opiskellessamme tätä aihetta, kiinnittäkää huomiota seuraaviin seikkoihin" (While we study this topic, pay attention to the following points). It can refer to a specific period of study, such as a particular class session, a semester, or even the entire duration of one's education. The phrase emphasizes the ongoing nature of learning and the activities that take place during that time. It can encompass a wide range of actions, including attending lectures, completing assignments, collaborating with peers, or conducting research. The term is versatile and can be applied to various levels of education, from primary school to university and beyond. It highlights a shared experience of learning within a group.
