tärkeimpiä

Tärkeimpiä is a Finnish word that functions as the plural partitive form of the superlative adjective tärkein, meaning “the most important.” It is formed from the base adjective tärkeä (important) with the superlative suffix -in, and it appears whenever the noun it modifies is plural and in the partitive case.

In Finnish, adjectives decline with number and case, so belangrijke forms like tärkeimpiä occur in phrases where the noun is plural and in partitive, such as tärkeimpiä asioita (the most important things) or tärkeimpiä kysymyksiä (the most important questions). The form signals selection of items that are regarded as the most significant within a larger set.

Typical usage

- Tärkeimpiä asioita ovat terveys, perhe ja talous. (The most important things are health, family, and finances.)

- Hän pohti tärkeimpiä kysymyksiä ennen päätöksen tekemistä. (He considered the most important questions before making the decision.)

- Lista sisälsi tärkeimpiä seikkoja, joita projektin menestys edellyttää. (The list contained the most important points that the project’s success requires.)

Notes

- Tärkeimpiä is commonly used in writing and speech to prioritize elements, summarize essential points, or emphasize significance.

- The form contrasts with the singular eller nominative forms such as tärkein (the most important one) and with other degrees of comparison like tärkeä (important) and tärkeämmät (more important).

Summary

Tärkeimpiä denotes a subset of items judged to be the most important within a larger context, and its inflection reflects a plural, partitive construction typical of Finnish adjective usage.
