Monimutkaisemmassa

Monimutkaisemmassa is a Finnish inflected form used to express “in the more complicated [one/instance]” and functions as the inessive singular of the comparative adjective monimutkaisempi, meaning more complicated. It is not a standalone base word but a grammatical form that appears in phrases describing a higher degree of complexity compared to another situation, object, or concept.

Etymology and form: The positive adjective monimutkainen means complex or intricate. The comparative is formed with the suffix -sempi to yield monimutkaisempi, indicating a higher degree of complexity. The inessive case ending -ssa/-ssä is then added to produce monimutkaisemmassa, i.e., “in the more complicated one.” Finnish adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case, so monimutkaisemmassa appears with a singular noun in the inessive.

Usage: Monimutkaisemmassa is commonly used in formal or technical Finnish, particularly when comparing scenarios, systems, or problems. It often appears in phrases such as monimutkaisemmassa tapauksessa or monimutkaisemmassa vaiheessa to specify a more complex situation than a reference point. The form aligns with standard Finnish declension patterns for adjectives in comparative degrees.

Examples: Tilanne on monimutkaisemmassa vaiheessa kuin alun perin kuvasimme. If the discussion considers a more complex scenario, the analysis might proceed from monimutkaisemmassa tapauksessa to alternative approaches. Related forms include monimutkaisempi (the standard comparative) and monimutkaisin (the superlative), as well as other case forms of the same adjective.
