Mahdollistaestempäin

Mahdollistaestempäin is a Finnish word that translates to "more possibly" or "even more possibly." It is an adverbial form used to emphasize the likelihood or probability of an event or situation. The word is constructed by adding the comparative suffix "-mpi" to the adverb "mahdollista," which itself means "possible." The suffix "-en" is a superlative or emphatic particle.

The usage of mahdollistaestempäin typically appears in contexts where one is discussing a situation with a degree of uncertainty, and the speaker wishes to convey an increased chance of a particular outcome. For instance, one might say "Se on mahdollistaestempäin, että hän tulee paikalle" which translates to "It is even more possibly that he will arrive." This implies that while the arrival was already considered possible, there are now factors suggesting it is even more likely.

This word is not commonly used in everyday spoken Finnish and tends to appear in more formal or literary contexts, or when a speaker wishes to be particularly precise about the degree of probability. It is a nuanced expression that highlights a strengthening of possibility rather than a certainty. Understanding its construction, which involves root words related to possibility and comparative/emphatic suffixes, is key to grasping its meaning.
