Laajempiakin

Laajempiakin is a Finnish grammatical form formed by attaching the clitic particle -kin to the comparative adjective laajempi, meaning “broader.” The combination is used to emphasize inclusivity and to refer to a broader set of items than those previously mentioned. It is not a separate lexical item but an inflected form of laajempi that agrees with a plural noun in cases such as the partitive (for example, laajempiakin vaihtoehtoja).

The function of laajempiakin is to convey “even broader ones” or “even more broad options” within a sentence. It commonly appears in phrases that compare or broaden the scope of possibilities, risks, or viewpoints. Typical contexts include discussing alternatives, perspectives, or plans that exceed what has already been stated. Examples include: Tarjolla on laajempiakin vaihtoehtoja. and Otamme huomioon laajempiakin näkemyksiä. The form is most often found with plural nouns in the partitive case.

Usage notes and conclusions: laajempiakin demonstrates how Finnish can intensify adjectives with the -kin particle to signal a broader or more extensive set. It is widely understood in contemporary Finnish and appears in both spoken and written language, particularly in argumentative, media, or political discourse where the scope of options is being expanded or emphasized. As with other -kin constructions, its use is stylistic and context-dependent, balancing clarity with emphasis.
