välttävänä

Välttävänä is a Finnish word that functions as an adverb or a predicative adjective. As an adverb, it translates to "necessarily," "inevitably," or "unavoidably." It describes an action or situation that cannot be avoided or escaped. For example, "Se on välttävänä tapahtuva" means "It is bound to happen" or "It will necessarily occur."

When used as a predicative adjective, välttävänä refers to something that is considered necessary or essential. It often appears in constructions with the verb "olla" (to be). For instance, "Tämä tieto on välttävänä menestykseen" translates to "This knowledge is necessary for success." In this context, it emphasizes the indispensable nature of something. The word's root lies in "välttää," meaning "to avoid." Therefore, "välttävänä" literally implies a state that one cannot avoid being in, either in terms of a future event or a present requirement. It conveys a sense of inevitability or fundamental importance in a given context.
