vaihtelevalla

Vaihtelevalla is a Finnish adjective form used in the adessive case of the word vaihtelevä, meaning variable or changing. It is used to describe conditions, phenomena, or actions that vary over time or in different contexts, and it is common in both technical and everyday language to express variability.

In practice, vaihtelevalla appears in phrases such as vaihtelevalla säällä ("in variable weather"), vaihtelevalla tavalla ("in a variable/varied manner"), and vaihtelevalla teholla ("at varying power"). It is frequently found in meteorology, experimental design, and descriptions of processes where conditions are not constant.

Etymology and grammar: The form comes from the verb vaihdella "to vary" and the adjective vaihtelevä, with the adjectival suffix -elev- and the adessive suffix -lla, creating vaihtelevalla, meaning "in a state of variability" or "under variable conditions."

See also: Related Finnish terms include vaihtelevuus (variability), vaihtelevasti (variably), vaihteleva (alternating/variable), and vaihdella (to vary).
