Suuremman

Suuremman is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the genitive singular of the comparative adjective suurempi, meaning “bigger” or “larger.” In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify, and the genitive singular form of this comparative is -n genitive, resulting in suuremman before a noun in the genitive case.

Usage and examples:

The form is used to show possession or association with a larger entity. For example: suur­emman talon ovi means “the door of the bigger house,” and suuremman katon varjo means “the shadow of the larger roof.” In these phrases, suuremman accompanies a following noun in the genitive, signaling that the noun belongs to or is characterized by something larger. It can also appear in sentences comparing two things, as in hän valitsi suuremman talon (he chose the bigger house).

Relation to other forms:

Suuremman derives from the adjective suurempi, the comparative form of suuri (big). The same pattern applies to other adjectives with their own genitive singular forms (for instance paremman from hyvä, though the exact forms vary). The use of suuremman is restricted to contexts where the noun is in genitive, often in noun phrases indicating possession, description, or comparison.

Notes:

Suuremman should not be mistaken for a standalone noun; it is an inflected adjective form. Its meaning depends on the noun it accompanies. Understanding its role requires recognizing Finnish case and adjective agreement patterns rather than a fixed lexical entry.
