Aktiivisempi

Aktiivisempi is a Finnish adjective form meaning "more active." It is the comparative form of aktiivinen and is used to compare the level of activity between two or more subjects, objects, or situations. The word is common in everyday speech and in written Finnish, spanning contexts from physical activity to engagement and initiative.

Morphology and usage: In Finnish, many adjectives form comparatives with the suffix -mpi. For adjectives ending in -inen, the corresponding comparative form is -isempi, yielding aktiivisempi. The base meaning remains “active,” while the comparative expresses a higher degree of activity. The word can function as an attribute (aktiivisempi henkilö) or as part of a predicate (Hän on aktiivisempi kuin ennen). The adverbial form aktiivisemmin means “more actively.”

Examples of use: Hän on aktiivisempi kuin viime vuonna. (He/She is more active than last year.) Projektin onnistuminen edellyttää aktiivisempia toimia. (The project’s success requires more active actions.) He ovat aktiivisempia osallistujia kuin aiemmin. (They are more active participants than before.) Aikataulu on tänään aktiivisempi kuin eilen, koska ohjelma on tiiviimpi.

Nuances: Aktiivisempi implies greater activity or engagement, but does not specify the type of activity; the context may indicate physical activity, social involvement, or cognitive effort. The related forms aktiivisemmin and aktiivisuus (activity, activism) are commonly used to discuss different aspects of activity.
