Epätavallisempien

"Epätavallisempien" is a Finnish adjective meaning "more unusual" or "less common." It is the comparative form of the adjective "epätavallinen," which translates to "unusual" or "uncommon." This comparative form is used to describe something that is comparatively more out of the ordinary than another thing, or to indicate a trend towards greater uncommonness.

The word is formed by adding the comparative suffix "-mpi" to the stem of the adjective, followed by the plural ending "-en." This grammatical structure is typical for Finnish comparative adjectives when used in certain grammatical cases, specifically when they are part of a genitive plural construction or in certain predicative contexts. For example, one might say "näistä epätavallisempien esimerkkien joukossa," meaning "among these more unusual examples."

The concept of "more unusual" can be applied in various contexts. It might refer to rare phenomena, less frequent occurrences, or things that deviate more significantly from the norm. The comparative nature of "epätavallisempien" implies a point of reference, either explicitly stated or implicitly understood, against which the unusualness is being measured. It highlights a degree of difference from the typical or expected.
