säilymällä

Säilymällä is a Finnish word that translates to "by preserving," "by surviving," or "by lasting" in English. It is the adessive case of the Finnish word "säilyminen," which means preservation, survival, or endurance. The adessive case in Finnish indicates the means, manner, or location by which something is done or exists. Therefore, "säilymällä" describes something that is achieved or happens through the process of preservation, survival, or lasting.

The word can be used in various contexts. For example, in biology, it might refer to how a species continues to exist by adapting and surviving environmental changes, or how a particular organ remains functional by being preserved. In a more general sense, it can describe how an object or a tradition endures over time, for instance, "kulttuuri säilyy sukupolvelta toiselle säilymällä" which translates to "culture survives from generation to generation by lasting." It can also imply an effort or active process to maintain something, such as "vanha rakennus säilyi talonsa puolesta säilymällä" meaning "the old building survived thanks to its preservation." The precise nuance depends on the surrounding words and the overall context of the sentence.
