tyytyväisen

The Finnish word "tyytyväisen" is the genitive singular form of the adjective "tyytyväinen." This adjective translates to "satisfied," "content," or "pleased" in English. The genitive case in Finnish often indicates possession or a relationship, similar to "of" in English, or it can be used after certain prepositions.

Therefore, "tyytyväisen" would typically appear in phrases where something belongs to or is related to a satisfied entity, or in constructions that require the genitive case. For example, one might say "hän oli tyytyväisen miehen ilme" which translates to "he had the expression of a satisfied man." The genitive form here shows that the expression belongs to the satisfied man. Another common usage is with the postposition "vuoksi," meaning "because of." So, "hänen tyytyväisen vuoksi" would mean "because of his satisfaction." Understanding the context in which "tyytyväisen" is used is key to grasping its precise meaning and grammatical function within a Finnish sentence.
