palauttamilla

Palauttamilla is a Finnish linguistic form derived from the verb palauttaa, meaning to return or to restore. In grammar discussions it is described as an adessive participial or nominal form that conveys manner or means and is used in contexts where returning or restoring actions are the means by which something is done. The exact interpretation of this form depends on the surrounding phrases and the noun it modifies.

The form appears most often in formal or technical language, such as academic texts or legal-like descriptions, rather than in everyday speech. It is associated with the idea of “by means of returning” or “with the returns,” and it can function as part of a larger noun phrase that enumerates methods, processes, or practices. Because Finnish allows flexible compounding and modal constructions, palatuttamilla-type forms may appear in lists that describe procedures or policy measures related to returns, refunds, or restoration.

In practice, if used, palauttamilla typically bonds with other words in the instrumental or adessive sense to indicate the method or means by which an action is carried out. It is not a common everyday word, and speakers may choose more straightforward expressions such as palauttaminen (the act of returning) or palautus (a return).
