Epämääräisemmin

Epämääräisemmin is a Finnish adverb that translates to "more vaguely" or "less precisely" in English. It is the comparative form of the adverb epämääräisesti, which means "vaguely" or "imprecisely." The word is formed by adding the comparative suffix -mpi to the stem epämäärä- and then the adverbial suffix -sti.

This adverb is used to describe an action or state that is performed or exists in a less defined, less clear, or less specific manner than usual or than another point of comparison. For example, one might say that someone explained something epämääräisemmin, meaning they explained it in a vaguer way than before or than expected. Similarly, a measurement could be taken epämääräisemmin if greater precision was not required or possible.

The concept conveyed by epämääräisemmin is a reduction in clarity or exactitude. It implies a departure from a more precise or definite state. This can apply to descriptions, actions, intentions, or any other aspect where a degree of specificity can be present. The opposite of epämääräisemmin would be täsmällisemmin, meaning "more precisely." The usage of epämääräisemmin often suggests a deliberate or an unavoidable lack of exactness.
