Laajimpiin

Laajimpiin is a Finnish inflected form used to express movement or reference toward the broadest or most extensive set within a group. Grammatically, it is the illative plural form of the superlative adjective laajin (the broadest). It appears when the following noun is plural and in the illative case, meaning “into the broadest [ones/items]” or “to the broadest [options/areas].”

Usage and meaning

Laajimpiin is typically used in formal, scholarly, or policy language to indicate consideration of the widest possible scope. It conveys inclusivity or comprehensiveness, often in planning, analysis, or decision-making. Examples include laajimpiin vaihtoehtoihin (into the broadest options) and laajimpiin kysymyksiin (into the broadest questions).

Formation

The form arises from the base laaj- (root meaning wide) with the superlative marker and the illative plural suffix -iin. The exact stem may vary with surrounding phonology, but laajimpiin is a standard, recognizable construction in contemporary Finnish.
