monimutkaisemmissa

Monimutkaisemmissa is a Finnish grammatical form used as the inessive plural of the comparative adjective derived from monimutkainen (complicated). It functions to modify a plural noun in the inessive case and translates roughly to “in the more complicated ones” or “in more complicated situations.” The form is typical in written Finnish, especially in formal or technical contexts.

Morphology and formation: The base adjective monimutkainen forms the comparative as monimutkaisempi. To express plurality and a specific case, Finnish adds the inflectional ending -ssa / -ssä for inessive plural, yielding monimutkaisemmissa. This construction requires a following plural noun in the same case, for example: monimutkaisemmissa tilanteissa (in more complicated situations) or monimutkaisemmissa tapauksissa (in more complicated cases). The word is not commonly used as a stand-alone noun; it is a determiner modifying other plural nouns.

Usage: Monimutkaisemmissa appears in contexts where complexity increases across items or events. It is common in academic writing, research reports, policy analyses, and journalism when comparing levels of complexity or detailing progressively more intricate scenarios. Its usage signals a qualitative difference rather than a simple quantitative change.

Related forms and notes: Related forms include monimutkaisempi (singular comparative) and monimutkaisimmat (superlative). The corresponding noun for the concept of complexity is monimutkaisuus. When choosing between monimutkaisemmissa and other forms, the key is ensuring agreement with the modified noun in number and case.
