pääsemässä

pääsemässä is a Finnish word that functions as the inessive case, present active participle of the verb päästä. The verb päästä has several meanings, including to get, to arrive, to escape, to be allowed, and to become. The inessive case in Finnish typically indicates a state of being inside something. Therefore, pääsemässä often translates to "in the process of getting," "about to arrive," "escaping," or "being allowed," depending on the context of the verb päästä.

The structure of the word is formed by taking the verb stem, adding the participle suffix "-mä-", and then inflecting it into the inessive case. The inessive case suffix for participles is "-ssä" or "-sä". Thus, päästä combined with the inessive participle form results in pääsemässä.

For example, in the sentence "Olen pääsemässä töihin" (I am about to get to work), pääsemässä indicates the ongoing action and the imminent arrival or completion of the act of getting to work. Similarly, in "Hän on pääsemässä vapauteen" (He is about to escape/gain freedom), it denotes the process of escaping or achieving freedom. The precise nuance is always determined by the preceding context and the specific meaning of päästä being employed.
