vähimmässä

vähimmässä is a Finnish word. It is the inessive plural form of the word vähäinen. Vähäinen means "small," "little," "few," or "slight." Therefore, vähimmässä translates to "in the fewest," "in the smallest amounts," or "among the least."

This form is used in sentences to indicate that something is contained within or happening within a group that possesses the smallest quantity or degree of something. For instance, one might say "He was found vähimmässä joukossa" which translates to "He was found among the fewest people" or "in the smallest group." Another example could be "Siinä on vähimmässä määrin totuutta," meaning "There is the least amount of truth in that." The context of the sentence will determine the precise nuance of the translation.

The inessive case in Finnish is marked by the suffix "-ssa" or "-ssä" depending on vowel harmony. The superlative form of vähäinen is vähin, meaning "least" or "fewest." Combining the superlative with the inessive case results in vähimmässä, indicating "in the least" or "in the fewest." This grammatical construction is essential for expressing comparisons of quantity or degree in Finnish.
