tulkijalla

Tulkijalla is a Finnish word that translates to "by an interpreter" or "with an interpreter" in English. It is the adessive case of the noun "tulkkijalla," which itself is a derivative of "tulkkki," meaning interpreter. The adessive case in Finnish generally denotes the person or thing by whom or with whom an action is performed, or on whose surface something rests.

In practical usage, "tulkijalla" indicates that an action or communication is facilitated by an interpreter. For example, if someone is attending a meeting or appointment where they do not speak the local language, they might state that they are there "tulkijalla" to signify that an interpreter is present to assist them. This phrase emphasizes the presence and role of the interpreter in bridging a language barrier. It can be used in various contexts, from official proceedings and medical appointments to casual social interactions where translation is necessary. The word highlights the collaborative nature of communication when linguistic differences are present, underscoring the interpreter's function as a crucial intermediary.
