Tämmöisiä

Tämmöisiä is a Finnish demonstrative pronoun, essentially meaning "such" or "like this/that." It is used to refer to something previously mentioned, observed, or implied, often indicating a quality, characteristic, or manner. It functions similarly to English phrases like "things like that" or "people of this sort."

The word "tämmöisiä" itself is the plural partitive form of the demonstrative pronoun "tämmöinen." The base form "tämmöinen" is a colloquial contraction of "tämäntuinen," literally meaning "of this kind" or "of this sort." While "tämmöinen" is more common in everyday speech, "tämmöisiä" is used when referring to multiple items or a general category of things or people that are similar in nature.

For example, one might say "En pidä tämmöisistä" which translates to "I don't like things like this" or "I don't like such things." In this context, "tämmöisistä" is the plural partitive, referring to unspecified items or types of items. The pronoun's form can change depending on grammatical case and number, but its core function remains to point to something comparable or of a similar nature.
