Tiheimmin

Tiheimmin is a spelling variant of the Finnish word tiheämmin, meaning “more densely.” It appears primarily when diacritics are omitted in ASCII text or data processing, rather than as a standard form in Finnish orthography.

Etymology and form attractively summarized: tiheä is the base adjective meaning dense, and tiheämmin is the standard adverbial comparative meaning “more densely.” When diacritics are stripped in informal writing or computational outputs, tiheämmin can become tiheimmin. In formal Finnish, tiheimmin is not the accepted spelling.

Usage and occurrence: Tiheimmin is mostly encountered in informal online communications, plain-text data, or OCR-produced text where diacritics are lost. It is unusual in edited publications or official documents. When readers encounter tiheimmin, they should interpret it as tiheämmin and restore the diacritics for standard Finnish readability.

Guidance for writers: If you are aiming for correct, formal Finnish, use tiheämmin. Tiheimmin should be avoided in professional writing but may appear in archival material, casual messages, or datasets that lack diacritics.
