terävämpiin

The Finnish word "terävämpiin" is the illative plural form of the adjective "terävä", which translates to "sharper" or "more acute" in English. The illative case in Finnish indicates movement into or within something, or a state of being within. Therefore, "terävämpiin" essentially means "into sharper ones" or "among sharper ones".

This grammatical form would be used in a sentence where the subject is moving towards or into a group of things that are sharper. For example, one might say "Hän laittoi kynät terävämpiin" which translates to "He put the pencils into sharper ones" (implying into a sharper pencil sharpener or into a collection of sharper pencils). Another usage could be "Ajatuksemme siirtyivät terävämpiin yksityiskohtiin", meaning "Our thoughts moved to sharper details".

The adjective "terävä" itself can also refer to a sharp mind or intellect, meaning intelligent or astute. In this context, "terävämpiin" could similarly denote a movement towards more acute or cleverer ideas or discussions. The specific meaning of "terävämpiin" is thus highly dependent on the context in which it is used, relying on both the adjective's core meaning and the grammatical function of the illative plural case.
