Isimmät is a Finnish word that translates to "most," "innermost," or "deepest" in English. It is the superlative form of the adjective "isi," which means "inner" or "deep." The word "isimmät" can be used to describe a variety of things, both literal and metaphorical.

Literally, "isimmät" can refer to the deepest parts of something. For example, one might speak of the "isimmät kerrokset" (innermost layers) of the Earth or the "isimmät tunteet" (deepest feelings) of a person. It can also describe the most concentrated or essential part of something, such as the "isimmät ytimet" (innermost cores) of a complex issue.

Metaphorically, "isimmät" often relates to emotions, thoughts, or the core of one's being. It can be used to express profound or hidden aspects of human experience.

The word carries a sense of intimacy and profoundness, suggesting something that is not easily revealed or accessed.

In certain contexts, "isimmät" can also relate to family or close relationships, implying the closest or most cherished individuals. However, its primary use leans towards the abstract and the internal rather than familial bonds. The superlative nature of the word emphasizes a degree of intensity or centrality.
