tyvemmistä

Tyvemmistä is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective tyvempi, the comparative of syvä meaning “deep” or “profound.” Tyvemmistä is the elative plural form, used to indicate origin from deeper or more fundamental aspects. In practice, it appears in phrases such as tyvemmistä syistä or tyvemmistä kerroksista, meaning “from deeper reasons” or “from deeper layers.” The formation follows standard Finnish morphology: the stem tyvem- combines with the elative plural suffix -mista, yielding tyvemmistä.

In usage, tyvemmistä tends to be found in written or formal contexts, such as academic prose or analytical journalism, where speakers contrast superficial with deeper factors. In everyday speech, speakers are more likely to use syvemmistä (the more common word for “deeper”) depending on the context.

Etymology-wise, tyvemmistä traces to tyvempi, itself derived from the word syvä (“deep”). The -mpi suffix marks the comparative, and -mista marks the elative plural, with standard assimilation producing the form tyvemmistä.

Examples:

- Tyvemmistä syistä johtuen päätelmä muuttui.

- Tyvemmistä kerroksista löydettiin fossiileja.

Tyvemmistä thus serves as a precise, formal way to refer to something that comes from a deeper or more fundamental level, particularly in discussions of causes, explanations, or structural layers.
