tehosekoittimella

Tehosekoittimella is a Finnish term formed from tehosekoitin, meaning a high-powered blender, with the adessive suffix -lla to indicate instrument or means. In Finnish grammar, -lla/-llä marks the tool used to perform an action, so tehosekoittimella translates roughly to “with a blender” or “using a blender.” The expression is widely used in cooking, recipes, and everyday instructions to specify how something is prepared.

Etymology and form: tehosekoitin is a compound of teho, power, and sekoitin, a device that stirs or mixes. The instrumentally marked form tehosekoittimella communicates that the blender is the means by which the action is carried out. The word is common in both written and spoken Finnish and can appear in various tenses and constructions, depending on the sentence.

Usage and examples: The phrase appears in sentences that describe method rather than merely the device. Examples include: Pinaattikeitto soseutettiin tehosekoittimella sileäksi. Mehu soseutettiin tehosekoittimella ennen tarjoilua. Uusi smoothie valmistettiin tehosekoittimella, jolloin koostumus tuli tasaiseksi. In these contexts, tehosekoittimella names the tool used to achieve the described result.

Variants and related terms: In addition to tehosekoittimella, Finns may use blenderi or blenderillä as loanwords or colloquial forms to convey a similar meaning. The standard Finnish term tehosekoitin refers specifically to the appliance, while tehosekoittimella identifies the action performed with it.
