Tiukemmista

Tiukemmista is a Finnish adjective form derived from tiukka, meaning strict or tight. It represents the comparative degree and is used to express that something is more strict or more tightly regulated than another thing. When the modified noun is plural, tiukempi’s inflection leads to tiukemmista in certain grammatical constructions, particularly with plural nouns in cases such as elative or genitive. In practice, tiukemmista appears in contexts discussing rules, guidelines, or requirements that are more stringent than others.

Usage examples include sentences such as “Tiukemmista säännöistä on keskusteltu paljon,” meaning there has been much discussion about the stricter rules. Another example is “Hankkeen tiukemmista vaatimuksista sovittiin,” indicating that agreements were reached on the stricter requirements of a project. These usages are common in discussions about policy, compliance, project planning, or regulatory matters where one compares different levels of constraint or control.

Etymology and related forms: Tiukemmista comes from tiukka, with the comparative suffix -mpi, and then takes inflection appropriate for plural nouns in the sentence context. It is one of several inflected forms of the adjective used to express degrees of strictness in Finnish. Related forms include tiukempi (the comparative form for singular nouns) and tiukimmat (a plural superlative form), among others, reflecting Finnish adjectives’ number- and case-sensitive inflection.
