yhdistelmällä

Yhdistelmällä is the adessive singular form of the Finnish noun yhdistelmä, meaning a combination, blend, or compound. It denotes the means or instrument by which something is done, equivalent to “by means of a combination” or “with a combination” in English.

Grammatically, yhdistelmä is a neuter noun; yhdistelmällä is the adessive form used to describe the method, approach, or device that enables an outcome. The word’s plural is yhdistelmät, and other cases are formed from the stem yhdistelmä, as in yhdistelmän (genitive) or yhdistelmässä (inessive).

Usage: The term is common in technical, scientific, culinary, and artistic contexts where several elements are combined to produce an effect or result. It often appears in descriptions of procedures, experiments, or design processes that rely on a multimethod or multi-ingredient approach.

Examples:

- Tutkimuksessa tulokset saatiin yhdistelmällä useita mittausmenetelmiä.

- Ruoan valmistuksessa mausteet annostellaan yhdistelmällä eri aromien saavuttamiseksi.

Origin and scope: yhdistelmä is a base noun meaning “a combination,” and yhdistelmällä functions as the means of performing an action. The form is one of several inflections that allow Finnish speakers to express methods, instruments, or ways in which something is accomplished.
