Semanttisempia

Semanttisempia is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the plural partitive of the comparative adjective semanttisempi, meaning “more semantic.” In Finnish, adjectives change to reflect degree (comparative), number, and case, so semanttisempi becomes semanttisempia when describing multiple objects in the partitive mood. The construction is common in linguistic discussions, philosophy of language, and analyses of meaning, where speakers compare the degree of semantic content or precision across items.

Usage and meaning

Semanttisempia is used when referring to several items whose semantics are being compared or described as more semantic relative to other items. For example, in a discussion about term definitions or data representations, one might speak of “semanttisempia merkityksiä” (more semantic meanings) or “semanttisempia käsitteitä” (more semantic concepts). The term emphasizes richer, clearer, or more precise meaning relations rather than surface form alone.

Context

The phrase typically appears in academic or analytical prose dealing with semantics, linguistics, terminology, ontology, and information design. It is not a brand or a fixed technical term, but a standard comparative adjective form in Finnish grammar used to describe qualitative differences in meaning or semantic richness.
