vaikeammissa

Vaikeammissa is the inessive plural form of the Finnish comparative adjective vaikeampi, meaning “in the more difficult ones” or “in more difficult situations.” It is used when referring to several things or situations that are more difficult than others. The singular form is vaikeammassa, and the base word is vaikea (difficult). The comparative is formed with the suffix -mpi to yield vaikeampi, and the inessive plural suffix -issa attaches to the stem to produce vaikeammissa. It is typically used with plural nouns or pronouns, such as tapauksissa, olosuhteissa, or tehtävissä.

Common collocations include vaikeammissa tapauksissa (in more difficult cases), vaikeammissa olosuhteissa (in more difficult conditions), and vaikeammissa tehtävissä (in more difficult tasks). In practice, the form emphasizes a higher level of difficulty relative to a baseline or to other items.

Examples:

- Nämä tehtävät ovat vaikeammissa olosuhteissa suoritettavia.

- Viimeiset kokeet olivat vaikeammissa olosuhteissa kuin aiemmat kokeet.

- Johtopäätöksiä tehtäessä on huomioitava vaikeammissa tapauksissa vaadittava harkinta.

Vaikeammissa is used across formal, educational, and descriptive writing to discuss comparisons among multiple items or situations. It is part of standard Finnish grammar for expressing degrees of difficulty in plural contexts.
