vastaamallas

Vastaamallas is a Finnish word that translates to "by answering" or "through answering." It is a derivative of the verb "vastata," which means "to answer." The suffix "-mallas" indicates a method or means of achieving something.

In practical usage, vastaamallas often appears in sentences describing how a particular outcome was achieved by providing answers. For instance, one might say that a question was resolved vastaamallas it with correct information. It can also imply a process of learning or understanding that occurs through the act of answering questions.

The word emphasizes the active role of responding and its consequential effect. It is not merely about the answer itself, but the process of arriving at that answer and its impact. While grammatically straightforward, its nuanced meaning suggests a connection between action (answering) and result (resolution, understanding, etc.). It is a term commonly encountered in everyday Finnish conversation and written communication.
