ohuimmat

Ohuimmat is a Finnish adjective form meaning “the thinnest.” It functions as the plural superlative of the base adjective ohut, which means thin. In Finnish, superlatives form to describe the extreme degree of a quality among a group, and ohuimmat is used when referring to multiple items that are the thinnest within that group. The form is typically used in nominative plural contexts, and like other Finnish adjectives it agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case.

In practice, ohuimmat can appear in everyday language, as when comparing fabrics, sheets, slices, or other slender objects. For example, speakers might discuss which of several materials is the ohuimmat, identifying the thinnest option for a particular purpose. The term also arises in more technical or descriptive contexts, such as food preparation or material science, where relative thinness matters for texture, permeability, or structural requirements.

Etymology and grammar: ohuimmat derives from the stem ohut (thin) with the plural superlative suffix -immat. Finnish adjectives are inflected to reflect number and case, so the form can change to fit different grammatical roles beyond the nominative plural.
