läheisemmiksi

läheisemmiksi is the allative plural form of the Finnish word läheinen. In Finnish grammar, the allative case indicates movement towards or to a place or state. Therefore, läheisemmiksi translates to "towards closer ones" or "to closer ones." It is the comparative form of the adjective läheinen, meaning "close" or "near." The superlative form would be lähimmiksi, meaning "to the closest ones."

The word läheisemmiksi is used in contexts where a group of people are moving or becoming closer to a set of individuals or entities that are already considered close. For example, one might say "Tehdään töitä, jotta pääsemme läheisemmiksi toisillemme" which translates to "Let's work to become closer to each other." Here, läheisemmiksi signifies a progression towards an even closer relationship within a group. It emphasizes a deepening of connection or proximity. The grammatical structure requires the noun or pronoun it modifies to be in the plural form, indicating that the action is directed towards multiple close entities.
