Kohtuullisempaa

The Finnish word "kohtuullisempaa" translates to "more reasonable" or "more moderate" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "kohtuullinen," which means reasonable, moderate, fair, or just. The suffix "-mpaa" indicates the comparative degree in Finnish, used when comparing two or more things.

"Kohtuullisempaa" is often used in contexts involving costs, effort, or demands. For instance, one might discuss a "kohtuullisempaa hintaa" (a more reasonable price) or a "kohtuullisempaa työmäärää" (a more reasonable workload). It can also refer to a more moderate approach or a less extreme stance. The word implies a desire for balance and a rejection of excess.

The concept of "kohtuullisuus" itself, from which "kohtuullisempaa" derives, is important in Finnish culture, often associated with practicality and avoiding ostentation. When something is described as "kohtuullisempaa," it suggests a step towards a more balanced, acceptable, or less demanding situation compared to a previous state or an alternative. It is a common term in everyday discussions about fairness and practicality.
