koillisempaan

Koillisempaan is a Finnish word that translates to "more northeastern" or "towards the northeast." It functions as an adverbial form of the adjective "koillinen," which means "northeastern." This word is used to indicate a direction or a location that is further in the northeastern direction.

For example, if someone is traveling from Helsinki to a city located further northeast in Finland, they might say they are heading koillisempaan. The word implies a movement or a position that is relatively more in the northeastern part of a given area. It is often used in contexts related to geography, travel, or describing the general orientation of a place or object.

The use of the comparative suffix "-mpi" in "koillisempaan" signifies a comparison, suggesting a position or direction that is more to the northeast than a previously mentioned or implied location. It is a descriptive term that helps to refine the sense of direction and location within a Finnish-speaking context.
