etäisemmissä

The Finnish word "etäisemmissä" is the inessive plural form of the adjective "etäinen". "Etäinen" translates to "distant" or "remote" in English. Therefore, "etäisemmissä" literally means "in more distant places" or "in more remote contexts".

This word is used to describe locations or situations that are further away, either physically or abstractly, than others. For example, one might say that "etäisemmissä kaupungeissa" (in more distant cities) the weather is different, implying a comparison to closer cities. Similarly, in a more figurative sense, "etäisemmissä tulevaisuuden skenaarioissa" could refer to scenarios in the more distant future.

The inessive case in Finnish indicates location within something, so "etäisemmissä" specifically denotes being "in" or "within" these more remote or distant entities. The comparative form "etäisempi" is used to emphasize a greater degree of distance or remoteness compared to a baseline or another point of reference. The plural form "etäisemmissä" applies this comparative degree of distance to multiple locations or contexts. It is a grammatical construction used to convey a nuanced sense of spatial or temporal separation.
