Intensiivisemmin

Intensiivisemmin is a Finnish adverb meaning more intensively or to a greater degree of intensity. It is used to describe actions, processes, or efforts that are carried out with higher level of vigor, focus, or effort compared with a reference point.

The word is formed from the adjective intensiivinen (intense) with the comparative suffix -isempi and the adverbial ending -min, producing intensiivisemmin. In practice the form indicates comparison and applies to verbs or verb phrases, often in contexts discussing effort, tempo, or duration.

Usage of intensiivisemmin is common in professional, educational, and media contexts where precision about effort or intensity is important. It can modify verbs in sentences such as “Hän harjoitteli intensiivisemmin kuin ennen” (he trained more intensively than before) or “Tutkimus osoitti, että opetusta tulisi toteuttaa intensiivisemmin” (the study showed that teaching should be implemented more intensively). The term can convey increased workload, pushing boundaries, or heightened concentration.

Nuances and alternatives: intensiivisemmin implies a comparative increase relative to a baseline. Depending on the context, alternatives like “enemmän intensiivisesti” may sound less natural in Finnish; “intensiivisemmin” is the standard concise option in formal and neutral writing.
