voimakkaammassa

Voimakkaammassa is a Finnish grammatical form. It is the inessive singular of the comparative adjective voimakkaampi, which means stronger or more powerful. In Finnish, adjectives decline like nouns, and the comparative form voimakkaampi is inflected for case and number. When the inessive singular ending -ssa is added to the comparative stem, the resulting form is voimakkaammassa, indicating “in a stronger state” or “in a more powerful condition.”

The convergence of the comparative suffix -mpi with the inessive ending -ssa produces the characteristic form voimakkaammassa, with the consonant gradation visible in the stem. In plural contexts, the corresponding inessive plural is voimakkaammissa (e.g., in stronger conditions).

Usage and meaning: voimakkaammassa describes a state that is more powerful or intense than a reference point. It is used to compare states or conditions rather than to describe inherent properties. For example, Hän on voimakkaammassa kunnossa kuin eilen means “He is in a stronger condition than yesterday.” Another example could be olosuhteet ovat voimakkaammassa vaiheessa, meaning “the conditions are in a more severe stage.”

Notes: Voimakkaammassa is primarily a grammatical and linguistic example illustrating Finnish comparative adjectives in the inessive case. In everyday speech, speakers may opt for the base comparative voimakkaampi or adjust the noun’s case to avoid the inessive form, depending on style and register.
