epäsuorempaan

epäsuorempaan is the illative plural form of the Finnish word epäsuora. Epäsuora translates to indirect, circuitous, or oblique in English. The illative case in Finnish indicates movement into or towards a place or state. Therefore, epäsuorempaan refers to "into more indirectness" or "towards more indirect ways." It signifies a movement or transition into a state or situation that is less direct, more roundabout, or less straightforward than a previous state.

This form is typically used in sentences where a subject is moving towards or entering a condition characterized by indirectness. For instance, one might say that a conversation is moving epäsuorempaan when the participants begin to avoid direct topics and instead hint at them or discuss related matters. It can also describe a process that is becoming more complicated or less efficient. The comparative form, epäsuorempaan, suggests a comparison with a previous, more direct state. The plural aspect indicates that this movement is occurring with respect to multiple instances of indirectness or multiple indirect paths.
