äänillään

äänillään is a Finnish word that translates to "with their voice" or "in their voice". It is a common phrase used in everyday conversation and literature to describe the sound or quality of someone's voice.

The word is formed from the noun "ääni" which means "voice" or "sound", and the possessive suffix "-llään" which indicates third-person plural possession. This suffix essentially means "their". Therefore, "äänillään" literally means "with their voice".

The phrase can be used in various contexts. For example, one might say "Hän puhui hiljaisellään äänillään" which means "He spoke with his quiet voice". It can also be used to describe the emotional tone of a voice, such as "Surullisellään äänillään hän kertoi tarinansa" meaning "With his sad voice, he told his story". The word can also refer to the unique characteristics of a person's voice, like its pitch, timbre, or resonance.

In literature and poetry, "äänillään" can be employed to create vivid imagery and evoke specific moods. It allows writers to convey not just what a character says, but also how they say it, adding depth and nuance to their portrayal. The word is a simple yet effective way to draw attention to the auditory aspect of human communication.
