Kuumemmalla

Kuumemmalla is a Finnish word that translates to "hotter" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "kuuma," meaning "hot." This word is used to describe a state of increased temperature. For instance, one might say "sää on kuumemmalla" which means "the weather is hotter." The word can be applied to a wide range of contexts, from describing the temperature of the weather to the heat of an object or a substance.

The grammatical structure of "kuumemmalla" is derived from the Finnish superlative "kuumin" (hottest). The comparative suffix "-mpi" is added to the base adjective, and then the adessive case ending "-lla" is attached. The adessive case in Finnish often indicates a state or condition, thus "kuumemmalla" signifies being in a hotter state than a previously established reference point or comparison.

Understanding "kuumemmalla" is important for comprehending comparative temperature descriptions in Finnish. It allows for nuanced expression when discussing changes in heat or comparing different levels of warmth. For example, comparing two drinks, one might say "kahvi on kuumemmalla kuin tee" meaning "the coffee is hotter than the tea." This comparative usage is a common aspect of everyday Finnish conversation and writing.
