Vähäisimpiä

Vähäisimpiä is a Finnish word that translates to "least" or "smallest" in English, typically used in a superlative sense to denote the minimal quantity or significance of something. It is the partitive plural form of the adjective "vähäinen," which means "small," "little," or "slight." The word vähäisimpiä is often used in contexts where one is comparing multiple items or entities and identifying the one that possesses the least amount of a particular quality or characteristic.

For instance, in a sentence like "Näistä vaihtoehdoista vähäisimpiä riskejä sisältää tämä," it translates to "Of these options, this one contains the least risks." Here, vähäisimpiä clearly indicates the lowest level of risk when compared to other alternatives. The word can apply to a wide range of quantifiable or qualitative attributes, such as size, number, importance, or intensity.

The grammatical form of vähäisimpiä indicates that it is referring to multiple items (plural) and that it is in the partitive case. The partitive case in Finnish is often used to express a part of something, an indefinite quantity, or when an action affects only a part of an object. In the context of the superlative vähäisimpiä, the partitive case emphasizes that we are selecting the least significant *among a group* or that the "leastness" itself is being presented as a concept or quantity. It's a common and useful term for expressing a comparative minimum in Finnish.
