Yksiulotteisemman

Yksiulotteisemman is a Finnish comparative adjective form meaning "more one-dimensional." It is the genitive singular form of the comparative adjective yksiulotteisempi, which itself comes from the base adjective yksiulotteinen, meaning "one-dimensional" or "narrow in scope." The word is used when describing a noun in a genitive construction, or when the surrounding grammar requires the adjective to take a genitive ending.

In grammar, Finnish adjectives decline for case and number. Yksiulotteisemman appears before a noun in the genitive case, or within a phrase where the noun is in genitive. For example: "yksiulotteisemman tulkinnan mukaan" (according to a more one-dimensional interpretation) or "yksiulotteisemman lähestymistavan rajoihin" (to the limits of a more one-dimensional approach).

Usage and nuance: The term is primarily found in formal or analytic prose, such as academic writing or critical journalism. It conveys a critique of oversimplification or reductionism, suggesting that a perspective or analysis considers only a single dimension rather than multiple factors.

Examples: "Keskustelussa viitattiin yksiulotteisemman tulkinnan rajoihin." "Artikkeli kritisoi yksiulotteisemman lähestymistavan käytön."
