Kolmemittaiseen

Kolmemittaiseen is a Finnish inflected form of the compound adjective kolmemittainen. The base combines kolme ("three"), mitta ("measure" or "meter"), and the adjectival suffix -inen, yielding a meaning related to being three meters long or three measures in length. Kolmemittaiseen appears in contexts where the property is described in an oblique grammatical case, and is primarily found in technical or specialized texts rather than everyday speech.

In usage, kolmemittainen typically describes a physical dimension or a metrical property. In architectural, engineering, or drafting language it may indicate an object whose length or extent is three meters. In poetics or prosody, mitta refers to meter or rhythmic units, so kolmemittainen can be used to convey a three-measure or three-beat characteristic, depending on the surrounding terminology. The form kolmemittaiseen represents one of the inflected variants of this adjective in Finnish grammar.

Etymologically, the term is transparent: it is built from kolme (three) + mitta (measure/meter) + -inen (adjectival suffix). Its occurrence is largely confined to technical descriptions, old texts, or linguistic discussions about meter and measurement in Finnish.
