teräksisissä

Teräksisissä is a Finnish word that translates to "in steel" or "steely" in English. It is the inessive plural form of the word teräs, meaning steel. This grammatical form indicates a location or a state of being within something made of steel, or possessing qualities associated with steel.

The word can be used in various contexts. For example, "laiva on teräksisissä" means "the ship is in steel," referring to a vessel constructed from steel. It can also describe a person's demeanor, such as "hänen katseensa oli teräksisissä," translating to "his gaze was steely." This implies a look that is firm, determined, or unyielding, much like the material itself.

In a more figurative sense, "teräksisissä" can convey strength, resilience, or hardness. A "teräksinen tahto" means "a steely will," indicating an exceptionally strong and determined will. Similarly, "teräksiset hermot" refers to "steely nerves," suggesting someone who remains calm and unfazed under pressure. The specific meaning is usually clarified by the surrounding words and the overall context of the sentence.
