terävämmiltä

Terävämmiltä is a Finnish word and a grammatical form. It is the adessive plural of the adjective "terävä," which means sharp. The adessive case in Finnish indicates proximity, possession, or association, and the plural form signifies that the sharpness is being applied to or associated with multiple entities. Therefore, "terävämmiltä" can be translated as "from sharper ones," "by sharper ones," or "on sharper ones," depending on the context of the sentence.

For example, in the phrase "Hän sai terävämmiltä veitsiltä parempia viipaleita" (He got better slices from sharper knives), "terävämmiltä" is in the adessive plural, indicating the knives are the source of the better slices. The comparative form "terävämpi" means sharper, so "terävämmiltä" implies a comparison to something less sharp, and that these multiple sharper objects are the subject of the action or state described. The specific nuance of the adessive case in Finnish can make direct translation challenging, and understanding the surrounding sentence structure is crucial for accurate interpretation.
