Liikkuvimpia

Liikkuvimpia is a Finnish adjective form meaning “the most movable” or “the most agile,” used to describe a plural noun. It is derived from the adjective liikkuva (moving, mobile) and expresses the highest degree of mobility or flexibility within a group. The base comparative form is liikkuvampi (more movable), and the corresponding superlative nominative plural is liikkuvimmat. The form liikkuvimpia, in turn, is the partitive plural form of the superlative, used when the noun it modifies is in the partitive case or when the sentence requires a partitive object.

Usage notes

- Liikkuvimpia is commonly used in contexts where several items or individuals are being compared, and the speaker wants to emphasize that a subset stands out for their mobility or adaptability.

- The sense can be physical (speed or agility in movement) or figurative (flexibility, adaptability, or versatility in handling situations).

- In non-partitive contexts, the nominative plural liikkuvimmat serves as the corresponding form (for example, liikkuvimmat pelaajat = the most agile players).

Examples

- Katsomme liikkuvimpia pelaajia. (We are watching the most agile players.)

- Näissä kilpailuissa on liikkuvimpia ratkaisuja. (There are the most mobile/most adaptable solutions in these competitions.)

- Nämä autot ovat liikkuvimmat. (These cars are the most movable/agile.)
