Vähäisimmillä

Vähäisimmillä is a Finnish word that translates to "least" or "smallest" in English when used in its elative plural form. It is derived from the superlative form of the adjective "vähäinen," which means "little," "small," or "slight." The elative case in Finnish indicates movement from or out of something, and the plural form signifies that the comparison is being made among multiple entities. Therefore, "vähäisimmillä" refers to the entities that possess the least amount of a certain quality or quantity within a group.

For example, one might say "hänellä oli vähäisimmillä resursseilla" which translates to "he/she had with the least resources." This implies that out of a group of individuals or situations, the subject possessed the smallest amount of available resources. Similarly, in a sentence like "saasteiden vähäisimmillä pitoisuuksilla," the meaning would be "with the least concentrations of pollutants." The context of the sentence will always clarify what specific quality or quantity is being referred to as minimal. Understanding the grammatical structure of Finnish, particularly its case system, is crucial for correctly interpreting the meaning of words like "vähäisimmillä."
