päivittäessään

The Finnish word "päivittäessään" is the inessive case of the possessive form of the third infinitive of the verb "päivittää." This means it translates roughly to "while updating it" or "in the process of updating it." The verb "päivittää" itself means "to update" or "to refresh." The suffix "-essään" indicates that the action of updating is being performed by the subject of the main clause, and it refers back to that subject. The "-än" at the end signifies the inessive case, meaning "in" or "inside" the state or action of updating.

Therefore, "päivittäessään" is used in sentences where the subject is actively engaged in the act of updating something. For example, "Hän lukee uutisia päivittäessään puhelintaan" translates to "He reads news while updating his phone." The subject "hän" (he) is performing both actions simultaneously. This grammatical construction emphasizes the ongoing nature of the updating process as a context for another action. It is a common and useful construction in Finnish for describing simultaneous events where one involves an update.
