pehmeydestään

Pehmeydestään is a Finnish word that translates to "about its softness" or "because of its softness." It is the elative case of the possessive form of the word "pehmeä," which means soft. The elative case in Finnish indicates movement from within or separation, so "pehmeydestään" literally means "from its softness" or "out of its softness."

This word is commonly used when describing the qualities or characteristics of something. For example, one might say that a pillow is comfortable "pehmeydestään," implying that its comfort stems from its softness. Similarly, a piece of fruit might be described as delicious "pehmeydestään," suggesting that its texture contributes to its flavor. The specific nuance of "pehmeydestään" depends heavily on the context in which it is used.

In grammatical terms, "pehmeydestään" is formed by taking the possessive suffix "-nsä" (its) and attaching it to the word "pehmeys" (softness). This is then followed by the elative case ending "-stään." The word functions as an adverbial phrase, providing additional information about the reason or cause of something. It is a relatively common construction in Finnish when discussing the sensory attributes of objects or substances.
