Lämpimämpien

Lämpimämpien is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the genitive plural of the comparative adjective meaning warmer. It is used when describing a plural noun in the genitive case, for example in phrases like “lämpimämpien talojen asukkaat” (the residents of warmer houses) or “lämpimämpien tilojen lämmitys” (the heating of warmer spaces). The form is not a standalone word; it is an inflected form of an adjective used to specify a comparison between groups.

The base adjective is warmer or warm, and the comparative is formed to indicate that one group is warmer than another. In Finnish, when the noun is plural and in genitive, the corresponding adjective often takes an -ien ending, yielding “lämpimämpien.” The exact meaning depends on the head noun that follows the phrase.

Usage notes: Lämpimämpien appears in written Finnish in contexts involving comparison or contrast between groups of objects or places, such as housing, workplaces, or climate-related discussions. It helps to specify which set is being referred to in a genitive construction and is common in academic, analytical, or descriptive prose about temperature, energy efficiency, or comfort.

Examples:

- Tutkimus vertailee lämpimämpien talojen energiankulutusta viileämpien talojen kanssa.

- Lämpimämpien tilojen suunnittelussa kiinnitetään huomiota eristykseen ja ilmanvaihtoon.
