Pehmeämmällä

Pehmeämmällä is a Finnish word derived from the adjective "pehmeä," which translates to "soft" in English. The "-mmällä" ending indicates the adessive case and comparative degree. Therefore, "pehmeämmällä" means "on something softer" or "by something softer," implying a comparison to a lesser degree of softness.

This word is used to describe a state or condition where something possesses a greater degree of softness than a previously mentioned or implied alternative. For instance, one might say that a particular cushion is "pehmeämmällä" than another, indicating it offers more comfort due to its increased softness. It can also be used in a more abstract sense, such as describing a gentler approach or a more lenient policy, where "pehmeämmällä" signifies a less harsh or rigid manner. The grammatical context dictates whether it refers to the tool used, the surface encountered, or the manner in which something is done. The specific meaning is always relative to a point of comparison.
