yhdistäessään

Yhdistäessään is a Finnish word that translates to "when combining" or "upon combining" in English. It is a temporal adverbial form derived from the verb "yhdistää," which means "to combine," "to connect," or "to unite."

The word is used to indicate an action or state that occurs at the same time as or as a result of two or more things being brought together. For example, "Yhdistäessään tietoja eri lähteistä, hän sai uuden näkökulman" translates to "When combining information from different sources, he gained a new perspective." Here, the act of gaining a new perspective happens as a consequence of combining the information.

The grammatical structure of "yhdistäessään" places emphasis on the ongoing nature of the combining action. It suggests a process rather than a single, instantaneous event. This form is commonly found in written Finnish, particularly in more formal contexts, but can also be used in spoken language. It is a versatile word that can be applied to various situations, from physical combinations to abstract connections of ideas or concepts. The precise nuance can depend on the surrounding sentence and the context in which it is used.
