vähäisempia

vähäisempia is a Finnish word. It is the partitive plural form of the adjective vähäisempi, which means "lesser," "smaller," or "fewer." The word is used to describe a quantity or number that is less than something else. For example, one might say "heikompia vähäisempia" which translates to "weaker fewer ones." This indicates a comparison where one group has a smaller number of individuals than another. The word is commonly encountered in everyday Finnish conversation and writing when discussing comparisons of quantity or degree. It's important to note that the specific context will determine the exact nuance of "lesser" or "fewer" being conveyed. The grammatical form, the partitive plural, signals that the word is referring to an unspecified or indefinite number of items or individuals. This contrasts with other grammatical cases that might specify a definite or exact amount. The adjective itself, vähäisempi, is a comparative form derived from the base adjective vähäinen, meaning "slight" or "small." Therefore, vähäisempia inherently implies a comparison against a greater or larger quantity.
