tuuletuksella

Tuuletuksella is a Finnish noun phrase formed from the word tuuletus, meaning ventilation or airing, combined with the adessive suffix -lla. It denotes the means or method by which an action is performed, effectively translating to “with ventilation” or “by ventilation/airing.” In Finnish, tuulettusella functions as an instrument or means form and is typically used in formal or technical contexts to indicate how something is achieved.

Etymology and form: The base tuuletus refers to the act of ventilating or allowing air to circulate. Adding -lla marks the instrument or means by which something is done, yielding tuulettuksella. This usage parallels other Finnish instrumental expressions that describe how a result is obtained through a specific method or process. The form is most common in written language, particularly in technical writing, manuals, and scientific texts.

Usage: Tuuletuksella is used to specify that ventilation or airing is the mechanism enabling a stated result. Examples include: “Lämpötilaa voidaan alentaa tuulettuksella,” meaning the temperature can be lowered by ventilation, and “Ilmanlaatu paranee tuulettuksella,” meaning air quality improves with ventilation. The term is often found alongside related concepts such as ilmanvaihto (ventilation), tuulettaminen (ventilating), and other process-oriented descriptions. It is less common in everyday speech, where gerunds like tuulettamalla or more general phrases may be preferred.

Note: While tuulettuksella conveys means by ventilation, it should not be confused with more dynamic expressions like tuulettamalla (by ventilating), which emphasizes the act itself rather than the instrumental means.
