Jatkuvampi

Jatkuvampi is a Finnish word that translates to "more continuous" or "more ongoing" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective jatkuva, meaning continuous or ongoing. The word is used to describe a state or process that has a greater degree of uninterrupted duration or frequency compared to another state or process. For example, one might say that a certain type of work is jatkuvampi than another if it requires constant attention without breaks. Similarly, it can refer to a trend that is developing more steadily over time.

The usage of jatkuvampi is common in everyday Finnish conversation and in more formal contexts, such as scientific or technical descriptions. It implies a lack of interruption, a steady progression, or a sustained state. The nuance of the word lies in its comparative nature, always suggesting a comparison to something less continuous. It can also be used to express an increase in the intensity or frequency of something that is already ongoing. For instance, a discussion could become jatkuvampi if participants interject more frequently, leading to a less disjointed conversation.
