Kevyemmille

Keveyemmille is a form found in Finnish grammar. It represents the allative plural form of the comparative adjective kevyempi, and it is used when describing a group of nouns that are in the allative case. In practical terms, kevyemmille can be understood as meaning “for lighter ones” or “for lighter items” within a noun phrase.

In use, kevyemmille is most often seen in descriptive or instructional texts, particularly when contrasting options or specifying purposes for a subset of objects. A typical construction pairs the adjective with a head noun in the allative: kevyemmille tavaroille tarkoitetut laatikot, which can be translated as “boxes intended for lighter goods” or “boxes for lighter items.”

Notes for learners and readers: kevyemmille is not a standalone lexical item with a fixed meaning. Rather, it is a productive inflected form that demonstrates how Finnish adjectives decline to agree with the noun’s number and case. To understand kevyemmille, one should be familiar with the comparative degree kevyempi and the allative case suffix -lle, as well as how adjectives align with nouns in Finnish syntax.
