Korkeammissa

Korkeammissa is a Finnish linguistic form that expresses location or state in a higher place. It is the inessive plural form of the comparative adjective korkeampi (higher). The base korkea means high; to form the comparative, Finnish uses the suffix -mpi to create korkeampi, and to indicate plural location the inessive plural suffix -ssa/-issä is added, yielding korkeammissa. The double m appears as a natural consequence of the combination of the comparative form with the inessive plural suffix.

In usage, korkeammissa typically follows a noun or pronoun to indicate “in the higher ones” or “in higher places.” It can be used literally to describe physically elevated locations, or metaphorically to evoke ascent, elevation, or a more advanced state. The form is common in descriptive writing and lyric poetry, where contrasts with lower levels can be emphasized.

As a grammatical form, korkeammissa is not a standalone noun or a fixed label; it is a word form used within sentences. In standard Finnish prose, it appears in phrases such as korkeammissa paikoissa or korkeammissa oloissa. When capitalized, it would typically indicate a title or a proper noun usage, rather than ordinary language.
