syventävinä

Syventävinä is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective syventävä, meaning in-depth, deepening, or probing. It functions as a participial adjective in the plural essive form, used to describe multiple nouns in a way that signifies they are presented or considered in a more in-depth manner.

Grammatical notes: syventävä is a present active participle. When used with a plural noun in the essive case, the form becomes syventävinä, indicating “as in-depth ones” or “in-depth ones.” This construction is common in formal or academic Finnish and can accompany nouns such as kysymyksiä (questions), näkökulmia (perspectives), or aiheita (topics). The singular equivalents are syventävänä (essive) or syventävä (attributive), while the adverbial counterpart is syventävästi.

Usage: The phrase is typical in educational, research, or analytical writing to flag content that aims for deeper examination rather than surface-level treatment. It signifies a deliberate focus on thorough analysis, complex issues, or nuanced viewpoints. Because it is a participial adjective in a plural form, syventävinä is most often found in noun phrases rather than as a standalone descriptor.

Examples:

- syventävinä kysymyksinä

- syventävinä näkökulmina

- syventävinä aiheina
