alhaisemman

Alhaisemman is a grammatical form in Finnish. It is the genitive singular form of the comparative adjective alhaisempi, which means "lower" or "inferior." The form is used when the comparative adjective modifies a noun that is in the genitive case, following Finnish adjective declension rules.

In practice, alhaisemman appears in phrases that express comparison or relative level, where the noun is in genitive. For example, alhaisemman tason ilmiöt can be translated as “lower-level phenomena” or “phenomena of the lower level.” The construction is common in technical, scientific, or analytic writing where different levels or grades are being described.

Morphology and usage note: Finnish adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify. When the noun is in genitive, the corresponding genitive form of the comparative is used, resulting in alhaisemman. This form remains bound to the noun it describes and is not typically used as a stand-alone lexical item outside such constructions. The related positive form is alhaisempi, and the related superlative is alhaisin.
