ylimmäs

Ylimmäs is a Finnish word that translates to "uppermost," "highest," or "topmost" in English. It is a superlative form of the adjective "ylä," meaning "upper" or "high." The word can be used in various contexts to describe the position of something in relation to others, indicating its highest point or furthest extent.

For instance, in geography, one might refer to the ylimmäs kerros, meaning the uppermost layer of the atmosphere or soil. In everyday language, it can describe the ylimmäs kerros of a cake, referring to the top layer. It can also be used figuratively, such as in "ylimmäs tavoite," meaning the ultimate goal or highest aspiration. The word's grammatical form can change depending on its function in a sentence, but the core meaning of being at the highest point remains consistent. It conveys a sense of being at the peak, apex, or summit of something.
