Hõlpsamaks

Hõlpsamaks is the Estonian comparative form of the adjective hõlpsam, meaning more convenient or easier to handle. It is used to compare two or more things in terms of ease of use, handling, or accessibility. In practice, the word appears in contexts such as product descriptions, usability assessments, and reviews, where designers or consumers discuss how user-friendly something is.

In usage, hõlpsamaks is typically combined with verbs in the infinitive to express how easy it is to perform an action. For example, a sentence might say that a new model is hõlpsamaks kasutamiseks (easier to use) than earlier versions, or that a redesigned interface makes the device hõlpsamaks käsitleda (easier to handle). The term is common in discussions of ergonomics, design, and consumer guidance, and it can appear in both formal and semi-formal writing.

Etymologically, hõlpsamaks is formed from the base adjective hõlpsam with the standard Estonian comparative-formation suffix, producing a form that conveys increased ease or convenience. It is closely related to synonyms such as käepärane (handy) and ergonoomiline, though hõlpsamaks specifically emphasizes ease of use or handling.
