Kuivemmilla

Kuivemmilla is a Finnish adjective form meaning “on drier” or “more dry.” It is the adessive plural form of the comparative adjective kuivempi and is used to describe relative dryness in relation to a reference point. It appears with a plural noun in the adessive case, for example in phrases like kuivemmilla alueilla (in drier areas) or kuivemmilla oloilla (under drier conditions).

Grammatically, the base is the adjective kuiviva? No. The base is kuivaa (dry). The comparative is kuivampi (drier), and the adessive plural ending -lla/-illa yields kuivemmilla. This form is common in Finnish when comparing moisture levels across locations, times, or scenarios.

Usage of kuivemmilla is typical in fields such as meteorology, agriculture, ecology and environmental reporting, where dryness is evaluated comparatively. It does not function as a standalone noun; it modifies a noun phrase to convey relative dryness. For example, a sentence might read: “Kuivemmilla alueilla vesivarat ovat pienemmät,” meaning that water resources are lower in the drier areas.

The term emphasizes relative rather than absolute dryness and is most often found in descriptive or analytical prose discussing climate, soil moisture, or agricultural conditions. When writing, it is important to pair kuivemmilla with the appropriate noun in the adessive plural to maintain grammatical correctness.
