Võimsaim

Võimsaim is a word in Estonian meaning "the most powerful" or "the most potent." It is the superlative form of the adjective võimas (powerful) and is created by adding the suffix -aim to the stem. In everyday use the superlative can be intensified with the word kõigi or kõige to express an absolute superlative, as in kõige võimsaim (the most powerful of all).

In grammar, võimsaim agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. In the singular nominative, the form is võimsaim, for example: See on võimsaim masin (This is the most powerful machine). In the plural nominative, the form becomes võimsaimad, for example: Need on võimsaimad masinad (These are the most powerful machines). The adjective can also be used predicatively after a form of the verb olema: Ta on võimsaim (He is the most powerful).

Võimsaim is commonly used across contexts to describe physical power, technical performance, or figurative strength, such as võimsaim mootor (the most powerful engine) or võimsaim argument (the strongest argument). It is part of a broader Estonian system of degrees of comparison, with võimas as the base form and võimsam as the comparative. Related terms include võim (power) and võimsus (power/strength as a noun).
