saavuttamisella

Saavuttamisella is a Finnish word form used to express the means or method by which something is achieved. It is the adessive form of the noun saavuttaminen, which means attainment or achievement, and is formed from the verb saavuttaa (to achieve) with the nominalizing suffix -minen and the adessive suffix -lla/-llä. The resulting form, saattavammisella? No, correct form: saavuttamisella, translates roughly as “by achieving” or “through attainment.”

In usage, saavuttamisella is common in formal or academic writing to specify the process or criterion related to reaching a goal. It answers questions such as “by means of what?” or “through what process?” in a sentence. For example: Tavoitteiden saavuttamisella on ratkaiseva merkitys projektin onnistumisessa. (The attainment of the goals has a decisive impact on the success of the project.) Koulutuksen tehokkuutta arvioidaan usein oppimistulosten saavuttamisella. (The effectiveness of education is often assessed by the attainment of learning outcomes.)

There is no separate concept named saavuttamisella beyond its grammatical function; its meaning depends on the surrounding noun or clause. It is often contrasted with saavuttaminen (attainment) to highlight the difference between referring to the attainment as a concept and referring to the act or means by which attainment occurs.
