Harvinaisemmin

Harvinaisemmin is a Finnish adverb meaning more rarely or less frequently. It is the adverbial comparative form of the adjective harvinainen (rare) and is used to describe how often an event or occurrence happens in comparison with another reference point, such as a previous time or a different context.

In usage, harvinaisemmin is typically employed to indicate a reduced frequency of an action or phenomenon. It appears before the verb it modifies or after a linking element in a sentence. For example: “Tapahtuma tapahtuu harvinaisemmin tänä vuonna kuin viime vuonna.” and “Tähdennäköisyys on harvinaisemmin olemassa kuin ennen.” The construction emphasizes the lower occurrence relative to the alternative being discussed.

Etymology and related forms: Harvinaisemmin is derived from harvinainen with the adverbial comparative suffix -mmin. Related forms include harvinaisempi, the comparative form of the adjective meaning “more rare,” and harvinainen, the base adjective meaning “rare.” The term is common in written Finnish, especially in analytic or statistical contexts where frequency or incidence is described.
