huomattavilla

Huomattavilla is the plural adessive form of the Finnish adjective huomattava, meaning noticeable, significant, or notable. It is used when the noun it modifies is in the adessive case and plural, so the phrase describes something in a noticeable or noteworthy way that is expressed with an adessive plural noun.

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case, and thus huomattava appears as huomattavilla when attached to a plural noun in the adessive. Common collocations include huomattavilla tavoilla (in noticeable ways), huomattavilla tuloksilla (with notable results), and huomattavilla perusteilla (on notable grounds). The corresponding singular adessive form is huomattavalla, and the genitive plural form is huomattavien (as in huomattavien asioiden).

Usage and register: huomattavilla is typical in formal or analytical Finnish, where speakers discuss methods, outcomes, or justifications with an emphasis on their prominence or significance. It helps convey that the described aspects stand out relative to a reference point or context.

Etymology and relation: the form is produced from the base adjective huomattava by adding the adessive plural suffix -illa. The word retains the core meaning of “noticeable” while inflecting to fit the grammatical role of the noun in a sentence.
