Isommalla

Isommalla is Finnish, functioning as the adessive form of the comparative adjective isompi. It is used to express “with a larger” or “in a larger degree” when combined with a noun in the associated case, typically to indicate accompaniment, means, or scale relative to another situation. The form is built from the stem iso- with the comparative suffix -mpi to form isompi, and then the adessive suffix -lla to yield isommalla.

In practice, isommalla appears in phrases where a speaker describes doing something together with a larger group, with more resources, or under greater conditions than in a reference situation. For example, isommalla porukalla means “with a larger crowd,” isommalla joukolla also means “with a larger group,” and isommalla panoksella can be used to say “with a larger contribution” or “with greater input.” The construction can apply to various nouns that denote quantity, scale, or means.

Usage notes:

- The adjective isompi remains the comparative form, and -lla attaches to the noun’s adessive form. The overall phrase links the degree of the noun to the action or situation described.

- It is common in both spoken and written Finnish when comparing scenarios, plans, or resources.

Related forms include the positive iso (big) and the comparative isompi, which can pair with different cases to express related meanings. Isommalla is thus a versatile, grammatically bound form used to convey increased size, amount, or extent in conjunction with a suitable noun.
