särkyvää

Särkyvää is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective särkyvä, meaning “aching” or “painful.” It represents the partitive singular form used when describing an uncountable or indefinite amount of a sensation, such as pain or discomfort. The adjective särkyvä itself derives from the verb särkeä, meaning to ache or hurt.

In Finnish, adjectives have various case forms to agree with the noun they modify. The partitive singular form särkyvää is commonly used with mass nouns or when the affected sensation is not viewed as a single, countable item. For example, särkyvää kipua translates roughly as “aching pain.” Other typical pairings include särkyvää oloa (“an aching feeling”) and similar constructions in medical or everyday language. The form helps convey ongoing or persistent sensation rather than a simple, discrete instance of pain.

Usage notes: särkyvää is primarily descriptive and is found in contexts discussing physical discomfort or diffuse pain. It is not a separate noun; rather it is a grammatical inflection of särkyvä used to modify a following noun in partitive. The base adjective can also appear in other forms (e.g., särkyvä kipu in the nominative singular, or other cases with appropriate endings) depending on sentence structure.

Overall, särkyvää is a common inflection used to express ongoing aching or painful sensations in Finnish descriptions.
