tärkeimeksi

Tärkeimeksi is a Finnish word that translates to "most important" or "foremost" in English. It is the superlative form of the adjective "tärkeä," meaning "important." The word is used to indicate the highest degree of significance or priority among a group of things.

For example, if someone is discussing their goals, they might say "Tämä on tärkeimmäksi" to emphasize that a particular goal is the most crucial one. Similarly, in a list of tasks, the one designated as "tärkeimmäksi" would be the one that needs to be addressed first or has the greatest impact. The word can be applied to abstract concepts, physical objects, or actions.

The grammatical structure of "tärkeimeksi" is formed by adding the superlative suffix "-ksi" to the base of the adjective "tärkeä." This suffix denotes the case and often indicates a purpose or a state of being. In its comparative and superlative forms, Finnish adjectives undergo stem changes, and "tärkeä" becomes "tärkeim-" before the superlative suffix. Therefore, "tärkeimmäksi" clearly signifies the superlative degree of importance. Its usage is common in everyday Finnish conversation and written materials.
