Yleisimimpiä

Yleisimimpiä is a Finnish linguistic form meaning "the most common ones." It is commonly used to refer to those items that are most typical within a category. The form is the partitive plural of the superlative adjective yleisin, which derives from yleinen (common). In practice, yleisimpiä modifies a following noun in the partitive plural, as in yleisimpiä esimerkkejä (the most common examples).

Grammatical notes: In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they describe in number and case. The superlative is formed with -in or -in- suffix variations; the partitive plural ending -ä/-iä marks partitive plural. Therefore yleisimpiä can appear only within a larger phrase such as 'yleisimpiä sanoja' or 'yleisimpiä esimerkkejä'.

Usage: The phrase is typical in descriptive writing, educational materials, and lists of most typical items. It is not a fixed title of a well-known work; rather it is a generic linguistic construction that can function as a noun phrase or as part of a sentence.

Examples: "Tämän sanaston yleisimpiä sanoja ovat ja, on, ei." "Tämän kategorian yleisimpiä esimerkkejä ovat omenat, talot ja autot."
