tähteinään

tähteinään is a Finnish word that translates to "as its stars" or "with its stars." It is a form of the word "tähti," which means "star," in the essive case, plural. The essive case in Finnish describes a state or role, so "tähteinään" indicates a state of being characterized by stars.

This word is most commonly encountered in poetic or literary contexts. For example, a sentence might describe a night sky as "tähteinään," meaning the night sky as it is with its stars, emphasizing their presence and brilliance. It can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is adorned or characterized by numerous noteworthy elements, much like a sky is adorned by stars.

The grammatical structure of "tähteinään" is composed of the root word "tähti" (star), the plural marker "-i-", and the essive case ending "-näin." The "-näin" ending specifically denotes the plural essive. Therefore, the word literally signifies "in its state as stars" or "with its (plural) stars."

While not a frequently used word in everyday conversation, "tähteinään" adds a touch of lyricism and descriptive depth when employed, particularly when evoking imagery related to celestial bodies or something considered exceptionally outstanding and numerous.
