Suuriaulotteisissa

Suuriaulotteisissa is a Finnish word form that may appear in theoretical or mathematical prose. It is not a standard dictionary entry but an inflected construction that can arise when combining adjectives to describe dimensions or extents in a plural inessive context.

Morphology and meaning

The word can be analyzed as a compound-like combination of two elements: suuria, the plural partitive of suuri meaning “large,” and ulotteinen, meaning “dimensional” or “dimension-related.” Ulotteinen is used in Finnish to describe dimensional properties, as in two-dimensional (kaksiulotteinen) or three-dimensional (kolmiulotteinen). In principle, the form would function as “in large-dimensional [contexts/spaces].” However, Finnish normally keeps such modifiers separate in natural prose (for example, suuria ulottuvuuksia or suuria ulotteisuuksia), and fused forms like suuriaulotteisissa are unusual outside specific stylistic or technical texts.

Usage and rarity

Suuriaulotteisissa is a rare or field-specific inflection rather than a common everyday word. It can appear in specialized writings where writers choose to fuse modifiers for syntactic reasons or compactness, but it is more typical to keep the modifiers separate and inflect them according to the case and plurality of the noun they modify.

Notes

Because Finnish tends to separate adjectives and nouns in descriptive phrases, the fused form should be treated as a stylistic or nonstandard variant rather than a standard lexical item. When conveying the meaning “in large-dimensional spaces,” more conventional phrasing is usually preferred.
