monimutkaisella

Monimutkaisella is a Finnish adjective inflected in the adessive singular form from monimutkainen, meaning “complicated” or “intricate.” It is used to describe the state or manner of a noun in sentences that require the adessive case. Common constructions include monimutkaisella tavalla (in a complicated way), monimutkaisella tasolla (at a complicated level), and monimutkaisella suunnittelulla (with a complicated design).

Grammatically, monimutkaisella marks the adessive case and agrees with a singular noun in number. The base adjective monimutkainen changes form according to Finnish inflection rules in cases such as adessive, in addition to other cases. The meaning centers on complexity rather than judgment, and the tone can range from neutral to descriptive in technical or analytic writing.

Usage in Finnish ranges from formal descriptions of processes and systems to explanatory writing. It is common in academia, journalism, and technical contexts when detailing complexity, intricacy, or multiple interacting parts. Because it conveys nuance rather than value judgment, it tends to be used in objective or descriptive statements about phenomena, methods, or designs.

Examples:

- Tämän ratkaisutavan toteuttaminen tapahtuu monimutkaisella tavalla. (Implementing this solution method occurs in a complicated way.)

- Järjestelmän arkkitehtuuri on monimutkaisella tasolla, mikä vaatii perusteellista testausta. (The system architecture is at a complicated level, requiring thorough testing.)
