tyytyväisyydellä

tyytyväisyydellä is a Finnish adessive form of the noun tyytyväisyys, meaning “with satisfaction” or “contentedly.” It describes the manner in which an action is performed or the emotional stance accompanying an outcome. The word signals a positive evaluation of what has happened and can function as an adverbial expression of manner in written Finnish.

Morphologically, tyytyväisyys is formed from the adjective tyytyväinen (satisfied) with the abstract-noun suffix -ys/-yys. The suffix -llä marks the adessive case, which in Finnish often indicates “with” or the manner of an action. Thus tyytyväisyydellä literally conveys doing or being in a state of satisfaction. It is related to other forms such as tyytyväinen (adjective) and tyytyväisesti (adverb).

Usage of tytyväisyydellä is more common in formal, literary, or descriptive contexts. It tends to appear in written texts, reports, or narrative passages where a deliberate tone is desired and where the author wants to emphasize a positive reception or evaluation. In everyday speech, speakers more often use adverbs like tyytyväisesti or simpler phrases to convey the same idea.

Examples:

- Hän katseli maisemaa tyytyväisyydellä. (He looked at the scenery with satisfaction.)

- Tulokset vastaanotettiin tyytyväisyydellä. (The results were received with satisfaction.)
