todellisuuttaan

Todellisuuttaan is a Finnish word that translates to "its reality" or "their reality." It is a possessive form of the word todellisuus, which means reality. The word can be used in a variety of contexts, both literal and figurative.

Literally, todellisuuttaan refers to the objective state of things, the way the world actually is. For example, one might say "auto on todellisuuttaan punainen," meaning "the car is red in reality." This distinguishes it from how someone might perceive the car or how it appears in a photograph.

Figuratively, todellisuuttaan can refer to a person's subjective experience of reality, their personal truth, or their circumstances. For instance, "hän ei ollut tietoinen todellisuuttaan," could mean "he was unaware of his reality," implying a lack of understanding of his own situation or the true nature of his life. It can also describe the genuine nature of something, as in "se oli hänen todellisuuttaan," meaning "that was his reality," suggesting it was his actual lived experience.

The word emphasizes the inherent nature or state of being of a subject, whether that subject is an object, a situation, or an individual's perception. It is often used to contrast appearance with substance, or assumption with fact. The grammatical ending "-an" indicates the third-person possessive, implying "its" or "their" reality.
