Kaukaisemmilla

Kaukaisemmilla is a Finnish comparative adjective form meaning “on more distant places” or “at more distant locations.” It is the plural adessive form of the comparative kaukaisempi, and it is used to modify nouns in the plural adessive case.

Morphology: The base adjective kaukaisempi (more distant) inflects to kaukaisemmilla when describing multiple nouns in the adessive plural. Corresponding forms include kaukaisemmalla (singular adessive) and kaukaisempiae (partitive or other cases as appropriate for the noun). The form appears before the noun in Finnish noun-adjective order, e.g., kaukaisemmilla paikkakunnilla.

Usage: Kaukaisemmilla expresses a relative sense of remoteness within a given context. It is typically used with nouns in the plural adessive, such as paikkakunnilla, alueilla, or seuduilla. It is usually not used as a bare predicate and mainly appears in descriptive or comparative contexts.

Examples:

- He asuivat kaukaisemmilla paikkakunnilla kuin ennen. (They lived in more distant towns than before.)

- Kävimme kaukaisemmilla seuduilla viime kesänä. (We visited more distant regions last summer.)

- Kaukaisemmilla alueilla on erilaista kasvillisuutta. (There is different vegetation in more distant areas.)

Etymology and related forms: Kaukaisemmilla derives from kaukainen (distant) with the comparative suffix -isempi, and the adessive plural suffix -illa. Related forms include kaukaisempi (more distant) and kaukaisin (the most distant), which are used with different cases and numbers.
