kriittisemmissä

"Kriittisemmissä" is the illative plural form of the Finnish adjective "kriittinen." In Finnish grammar, the illative case signifies movement into, or a state of being within, a location or a more abstract concept. The adjective "kriittinen" translates to "critical" in English. Therefore, "kriittisemmissä" means "in more critical (situations/contexts/states)."

The word would be used in sentences to describe circumstances or conditions that have become more serious, demanding, or fraught with importance. For example, one might say that a patient's condition has worsened and is now in "kriittisemmissä tilanteissa" (in more critical situations), or that a company is facing "kriittisemmissä vaiheissa" (in more critical phases) of its development. It implies a progression towards a more severe or crucial stage compared to a previous, less critical one. The suffix "-mpi" indicates the comparative degree ("more critical"), and "-ssä" denotes the illative plural case.
