Yleisemmillä

Yleisemmillä is the plural adessive form of the Finnish comparative adjective yleisempi, which means “more general.” It is formed from the base adjective yleinen (general) with the comparative suffix -empi and then inflected for plural and the adessive case, yielding yleisemmät in nominative plural and yleisemmillä in adessive plural. The form is therefore not a standalone noun but a grammatical word that appears with a plural noun in the adessive case.

Etymology and morphology: yleinen derives from a common Finnish root meaning general or widespread. The comparative yleisempi expresses a higher degree of generality. In plural and adessive usage, yleisemmillä combines with a plural noun to indicate “on/at the more general ones” or “in more general terms.” The closely related forms include yleisemmät (nominative plural) and yleisimmillä (adessive plural in the superlative context).

Usage: Yleisemmillä is primarily a grammatical and stylistic tool in Finnish, used in academic, analytical, or formal prose to discuss generality across categories, levels, or terms. It typically appears with a plural noun in the adessive case, for example:

- Tutkimus tarkastelee ilmiötä yleisemmillä tasoilla. (The study examines the phenomenon at more general levels.)

- Keskustelussa viitattiin yleisemmillä termeillä kuvailtua lähestymistapaa. (The discussion referred to the approach described in more general terms.)

Notes: Yleisemmillä is a specialized form used within Finnish grammar rather than a standalone concept. Its correct use depends on matching number (plural) and case (adessive) with the accompanying noun.
