yhteydellään

Yhteydellään is a Finnish word derived from the noun "yhteys," which translates to "connection," "link," or "contact." The ending "-llään" is a possessive suffix, specifically the third-person plural possessive form. Therefore, "yhteydellään" literally means "with their connection" or "by their connection."

This grammatical form is used to indicate that an action is performed or a state exists due to, or in relation to, the connection that multiple people or entities possess. It implies a shared or mutual connection that serves as the basis for something else. For instance, one might say that a group of people achieved something "yhteydellään," meaning they did so because of their connections to each other or to a particular network.

The word is relatively uncommon in everyday spoken Finnish but can be encountered in more formal or literary contexts where precise grammatical structures are employed. Its meaning is highly dependent on the surrounding sentence and the specific nature of the "connection" being referenced. Understanding the base word "yhteys" and the function of the possessive suffix is key to deciphering its usage. It emphasizes the role of a shared link or relationship in an action or situation.
