tehokkaimman

Tehokkaimman is the genitive singular form of the Finnish superlative adjective tehokkaisin, which comes from the adjective tehokas meaning efficient or effective. In Finnish, adjectives decline for case and number, and the superlative tehokkaisin denotes “the most efficient/effective.” When the noun that the adjective modifies is in the genitive case, tehokkaisin becomes tehokkaimman.

Morphology and related forms: The base superlative tehokkaisin is used for nominative singular. To express possession or attribution with a genitive noun, the form changes to tehokkaimman. Corresponding plural forms are tehokkaimmat (nominative plural) and tehokkaimpien (genitive plural). Understanding these forms helps in choosing the correct ending for a given grammatical role in a sentence.

Usage and examples: Tehokkaimman is used in phrases where the noun is in genitive, for example, “tehokkaimman ratkaisun valinta” meaning “the selection of the most efficient solution.” Another example is “tehokkaimman tavan löytämiseksi,” meaning “in order to find the most efficient method.” The term is common in technical writing, business planning, policy analysis, and academic discussion where efficiency or effectiveness is evaluated.

Notes: Tehokkaimman is a grammatical inflection rather than a proper noun. It functions to attribute a property to a noun in genitive and should be used with care to match the intended case and number of the noun it modifies.
