puhtaampiin

Puhtaampiin is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective puhtaampi, which means cleaner and serves as the comparative degree of puhdas (clean). The form puhtaampiin is created by taking the stem puhta-, adding the comparative suffix -mpi to make puhtaampi, and then adding the illative plural ending -iin, which marks direction toward or movement into plural nouns in the illative case. In short, puhtaampiin literally conveys “into the cleaner [ones/things]” or “to the cleaner [places/things],” depending on the accompanying noun.

In usage, puhtaampiin appears in sentences describing movement toward or reference to plural objects or places

Related forms include puhtaampi (the masculine singular nominative, meaning “cleaner”) and puhtain (the superlative, meaning “cleanest”).
