törmäämästä

Törmäämästä is a Finnish verb in the ablative illative case, third infinitive form. It is derived from the verb törmätä, which means to collide, crash, or bump into. The form törmäämästä specifically refers to the act of colliding or bumping into something, indicating movement away from or out of the act of collision. It often appears in constructions that express a reason, purpose, or a state of being related to this action. For example, "hän pelkäsi törmäämästä" translates to "he was afraid of colliding." In this context, the infinitive phrase describes the potential event that causes fear. Another common usage might involve a prepositional phrase, such as "välttää törmäämästä," meaning "to avoid colliding." The grammatical structure highlights the avoidance of the action itself. Understanding this specific verb form requires knowledge of Finnish verb conjugation and case usage, particularly the function of the third infinitive in expressing ongoing or potential actions.
