älyssään

älyssään is a Finnish word that translates to "in its mind," "in its senses," or "sane" when referring to a person or animal. It is a possessive form of the word "äly," which means intelligence, intellect, or sense. The suffix "-ssään" indicates possession in the third person singular, often translated as "its" or "his/her."

The phrase is commonly used to describe a state of mental well-being or soundness. For example, "Hän on älyssään" means "He/She is in his/her senses" or "He/She is sane." Conversely, "Hän ei ole älyssään" would mean "He/She is not in his/her senses" or "He/She is out of his/her mind."

In a broader context, "älyssään" can also refer to the capacity for logical thought or reason. When something is said to be "älyssään," it implies that it operates with a degree of intelligence or understanding. This can apply to both living beings and, metaphorically, to well-functioning systems or ideas. The term emphasizes the presence of sound judgment and rational thinking.
