Questions & Answers about Te olette mitä ammattitaitoisin työyhteisö.
What role does mitä play in this sentence?
In this construction, mitä does not mean "what." When combined with a superlative adjective (ammattitaitoisin) and a nominative noun (työyhteisö), it forms an absolute superlative. This means "extremely professional" rather than comparing them directly to other specific communities.
Why are ammattitaitoisin and työyhteisö in the singular when the subject is the plural Te?
The pronoun Te (you, plural) addresses the individuals, but they collectively form a single unit: one work community (työyhteisö). Because they are one single community, the noun and its modifying adjective remain in the singular.
How do you build the superlative form ammattitaitoisin?
The base adjective is ammattitaitoinen (professional or competent). For adjectives ending in -nen, you drop the -nen and add the superlative marker -isin to get ammattitaitoisin.
How does the meaning change if I leave out the word mitä?
If you simply say Te olette ammattitaitoisin työyhteisö, it becomes a regular superlative meaning "You are the most professional work community," which strongly implies a direct comparison to other groups. Adding mitä removes the strict comparison and turns it into a strong, standalone compliment.
