teräaseella

Teräaseella is a Finnish phrase meaning “with a bladed weapon” or “using a blade.” It is formed from teräase, meaning an edged weapon, and the instrumental or adessive form -lla, which in context indicates the means or instrument of an action. The expression is commonly used in descriptive and legal language to specify how an act was carried out or what was used to threaten or injure someone.

Teräase (edged weapon) covers a broad range of blades designed to cut or stab. Typical examples include knives, daggers, swords, razors, and bayonets. In everyday speech people may refer to a weapon as a teräase, but the phrase teräaseella is especially frequent in formal contexts such as police reports, court documents, and law enforcement statements to indicate the instrument of the crime or threat.

Usage examples include phrases like “uhkasi teräaseella” (threatened with a bladed weapon) or “pahoinpitely teräaseella” (assault with a blade). The exact interpretation depends on context, including the nature of the weapon and the circumstances of the incident.

Legal considerations: Finnish law regulates the possession, carrying, and use of teräaseet. Carrying or using a blade in public or during a crime can lead to charges such as aggravated assault or other violent offenses, with penalties determined by the specific facts and severity. The term teräaseella is therefore common in indictments, court rulings, and police narratives to pinpoint the weapon involved.
