akateemisemmista

Akateemisemmista is a Finnish word that functions as the elative plural form of the comparative adjective akateemisempi. The base adjective akateeminen means "academic" or "scholarly." The comparative akateemisempi means "more academic," and akateemisemmista denotes "from the more academic [ones]" or "of the more academic [things]" when used with suitable plural nouns in the elative case.

Morphology: The form is built from the stem akateem-, the comparative suffix -isempi, yielding akateemisempi, and the elative plural suffix -mista (with -sta/-stä adapting to vowel harmony). The elative case answers "from where?" and is used with plural nouns; thus akateemisemmista appears with plural nouns, e.g., akateemisemmista lähteistä (from the more academic sources).

Usage: The term is most common in formal or academic Finnish. It contrasts more scholarly materials or approaches with less scholarly ones. It can appear in literature reviews, debates about sources, or methodological discussions. The phrasing is typically found in written Finnish rather than casual speech. In English equivalents it corresponds to "from the more academic..." or "of the more academic...".

Related forms and notes: Related forms include akateeminen (academic), akateemisempi (more academic), and akateemisimmat (the most academic). The word demonstrates Finnish noun-adjective inflection and case system, illustrating how comparatives and cases combine in noun phrases.
