lyhimmällä

lyhimmällä is a Finnish word. It is the adessive plural form of the adjective lyhyt, meaning "short." The adessive case in Finnish is used to indicate location, possession, or accompaniment. In this instance, "lyhimmällä" translates to "on the shortest" or "with the shortest" when referring to multiple entities.

For example, in a sentence like "Olimme lyhimmällä pöydällä" (We were at the shortest table), "lyhimmällä" indicates the location of the group. If the context were "Hän tuli lyhimmällä autolla" (He came with the shortest car), it would indicate accompaniment by the shortest car.

The superlative form "lyhin" (shortest) is used when comparing three or more items. "Lyhimmällä" therefore refers to the adessive form of this superlative, implying the shortest among a group or collection. This word would typically appear in grammatical contexts where the adessive case is required and the adjective "lyhyt" is used in its superlative form. Its specific meaning is highly dependent on the surrounding words and the overall sentence structure.
