Viileämpiin

Viileämpiin is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective viileä, used in the comparative degree viileämpi and in the illative plural case. Specifically, viileämpiin represents the illative plural form of the comparative adjective, meaning “to the cooler ones” or “to cooler places/things” when referring to more than one item.

Morphology and usage: The word is built from the base viileä (cool) with the comparative suffix -mpi to yield viileämpi (cooler). In Finnish, when the speaker needs to express direction into something in the plural illative, the ending -iin is attached, producing viileämpiin. This form is used with plural nouns and denotes movement toward or into something characterized as cooler. For example, Mennään viileämpiin tiloihin meaning “Let’s go into cooler rooms.” Another example is Siirryimme viileämpiin paikkoihin, “We moved to cooler places.”

Distinctions: Viileämpiin is distinct from viileämmät (the nominative plural form meaning “cooler ones” as a subject). It also differs from singular illative forms such as viileämpään, which would refer to a single cooler destination. As with many Finnish adjectives, the illative plural form concords with the noun it modifies in number and case.

Notes: Viileämpiin is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical entry. Its usage is common in contexts discussing temperature, climate control, or comparing multiple items or locations in terms of cooler properties.
