Monimutkaisemissa

Monimutkaisemissa is a Finnish grammatical form of the adjective monimutkainen, meaning more complex or more complicated. It is specifically the inessive plural form of the comparative adjective monimutkaisempi, used to describe something that is in a state of being more complex and refers to multiple items or situations in which that complexity is located or observed.

Forming monimutkaisemissa follows Finnish adjective inflection rules. The base is the comparative stem monimutkaisem-, to which the plural inessive ending -issa (with the appropriate vowel harmony) is added. The resulting form is used with a plural noun in the inessive case, for example: monimutkaisemissa tilanteissa, monimutkaisemissa järjestelmissä. In these contexts, the phrase modifies the noun it accompanies, matching number and case.

Usage and nuance: monimutkaisemissa conveys a higher degree of complexity than monimutkaisempi in a singular or general reference. It is common in written Finnish to discuss complex conditions, systems, or problems that involve multiple elements or layers. It is not an adverb; if one intends to describe how something is done in a more complex manner, the adverb form monimutkaisemmin would be used instead.

Related forms include the base adjective monimutkainen (complex) and the comparative monimutkaisempi (more complex). The elementary comparative adjectives in Finnish decline to agree with the noun they modify, so monimutkaisempi becomes monimutkaisemmat (nominative plural), monimutkaisemissa (inessive plural), and so on, depending on case and number.

Examples:

- Monimutkaisemissa tilanteissa vaaditaan huolellista suunnittelua.

- Tutkimuksessa käsitellään monimutkaisemmissä laskelmissa esiintyviä epävarmuustekijöitä.
