vähese

Vähese is a term that may appear in discussions of Finnic languages, but it is not widely recognized as a standalone dictionary entry in standard Finnish or Estonian references. In contemporary language use it is not listed as an independent lemma and is more often encountered as an inflected form, a dialectal variant, or a potential misspelling rather than a fixed vocabulary item.

Etymology and relation to related words are unclear in authoritative sources. It is plausibly connected to Finnish adjectives meaning small or meager, such as vähäinen, or to Estonian roots meaning little or few, such as vähe. However, the exact formation and productive status of a form like vähese are not established in standard language descriptions. Because of this, it is not treated as a regular part of either Finnish or Estonian grammar in reference grammars.

Usage and attestation: if reducir to a form found in texts, vähese is typically not cited as a standard word. Its meaning, when it appears, would generally be inferred from context and may relate to scarcity or smallness. Without clear attestation in reputable corpora or dictionaries, it should be regarded as nonstandard, dialectal, or possibly erroneous in most formal writing.
