Suurimman

Suurimman is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the genitive singular of the adjective suurin, meaning “the largest” or “greatest.” The form is used when the adjective accompanies a noun in the genitive case, often to indicate scope, possession, or attribution related to the largest item in a group.

Finnish adjectives decline for number and case, and the superlative suurin forms a genitive singular as suurimman. This form appears before a genitive noun, as in suurimman kaupungin meaning “of the largest city,” or suurimman osan meaning “of the largest part.”

Examples:

- suurimman kaupungin asukkaat = the inhabitants of the largest city

- suurimman osan ihmisistä = of the largest part of the people

In everyday Finnish, the phrase suurin osa is a common construction meaning “the majority.” The word suurimman specifically marks the genitive form of the superlative when modifying a genitive noun.
