suureimmat

Suureimmat is a Finnish word that functions as the plural superlative form of the adjective suur- (large, big). It literally means “the largest ones” and is used before a plural noun to indicate the greatest size within a defined group. For example, suuremmat rakennukset means “the larger buildings,” while suureimmat kaupungit means “the biggest cities.”

In Finnish grammar, adjectives have degrees of comparison. The superlative form denotes the extreme degree and agrees with the noun in number. When the noun is plural, the corresponding form is typically used, as in suuremmat rakennukset (the larger buildings) or suuremmat kaupungit (the larger cities). The exact spelling can reflect standard Finnish vowel harmony and stem changes, but the function remains to specify the upper end of a size-based comparison.

Usage of suurimmat appears frequently in lists, rankings, and headings where size is a key criterion. Examples include phrases like suuremmat järvet (the larger lakes) and suuret kaupungit Suomessa (the big cities in Finland). While suomalainen, it is not a proper noun and is generally written in lowercase unless it begins a sentence or appears in a title.

In summary, suureimmat is the plural superlative form used to denote “the largest ones” in reference to multiple items, and it is a common construction in descriptive and classificatory Finnish prose.
