Myöhemmillä

Myöhemmillä is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective myöhempi, meaning later or subsequent. It is the adessive plural form, used with plural nouns to express “on/at the later ones” or “in the later times.” Because it is a case form, it cannot stand alone as a simple word without a noun to modify; it accompanies a plural noun in the same case.

In practical use, myöhemmillä appears in phrases referring to later stages, times, or places in a comparative or sequential sense. It contrasts with earlier or prior, often in discussions about processes, events, or trends. Common contexts include academic writing, journalism, and historical or chronological descriptions.

Examples of usage include:

- myöhemmillä aikakausilla (in the later eras)

- myöhemmillä vuosikymmenillä (in the later decades)

- myöhemmillä paikkakunnilla (in the later localities)

These expressions show how the form attaches to a plural noun in the adessive case to indicate location in time or space.

Relation to other forms: myöhemmin is an adverb meaning “later,” while myöhempi is the base adjective meaning “later” or “subsequent.” The plural adessive form myöhemmillä specifically marks plurality and the adessive case, aligning with surrounding nouns such as aikakausilla or vuosikymmenillä.
