kiinteämpien

Kiinteämpien is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the genitive plural of kiinteämpi, the comparative form of kiinteä meaning fixed, solid, or stable. It is not a standalone concept or noun, but a morphological variant used to refer to a subset of things that are comparatively more fixed than others.

Grammatically, kiinteämpi is formed from kiinteä with the comparative suffix -mpi. In the genitive plural, adjectives in the -mpi form take the ending -ien, producing kiinteämpien. This form is used in noun phrases where the speaker contrasts two or more groups and wishes to indicate that one group is more fixed than the other, for example kiinteämpien rakennusten (of the more fixed buildings).

Examples of usage include phrases such as: "Suunnitelmassa kiinteämpien rakennusten vahvistaminen on prioriteetti." (In the plan, strengthening of the more fixed buildings is a priority.) and "Kiinteämpien rakenteiden hallinta parantaa turvallisuutta." (Managing the more stable structures improves safety.) These show how kiinteämpien serves to specify a higher degree of fixedness within a plural noun set.

Usage notes: kiinteämpien appears primarily in written or formal Finnish and in contexts involving comparison between groups. In everyday speech, speakers may opt for simpler constructions or other expressions to convey a similar idea.
