Monimutkaisemmilla

Monimutkaisemmilla is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the plural adessive form of the comparative adjective monimutkaisempi, meaning “more complicated.” In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so when the noun is plural and in the adessive case, the adjective also takes the adessive plural ending, producing monimutkaisemmilla.

The base stem comes from monimutkainen (complex); adding the comparative suffix -isempi yields monimutkaisempi (more complicated). The plural adessive ending -illa/-illä is then attached, giving monimutkaisemmilla. This form is used with plural nouns in the adessive case to indicate that something pertains to or is done on the more complicated ones, or in phrases describing methods or circumstances that are more complex.

Usage examples include monimutkaisemmilla tavoilla (in more complicated ways), monimutkaisemmilla ratkaisuilla (with more complex solutions), and monimutkaisemmilla kysymyksillä (on more complicated questions). It is common in analytical and academic Finnish to contrast simpler approaches with monimutkaisemmilla alternatives.

Phonology and orthography follow standard Finnish rules: the form preserves the consonant cluster and adds the -illa/-illä suffix to indicate plural adessive. The meaning remains context-dependent, relying on the noun that follows.

Relation to other forms: monimutkainen is the base meaning “complex,” monimutkaisempi is the comparative “more complicated,” and monimutkaisemmilla is specifically the plural adessive form used with plural nouns. The term is primarily a grammatical or morphological descriptor rather than a standalone concept.
