Merkittävimmästi

Merkittävisesti is a Finnish adverb that translates to "significantly" or "considerably" in English. It is used to describe the degree or extent of something, indicating that it is of notable importance or consequence. The word is derived from the adjective "merkittävä," meaning "significant" or "important."

In Finnish grammar, "merkittävästi" modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, providing more detail about the action, quality, or manner. For example, one might say that a situation has changed "merkittävästi," meaning it has changed in a very noticeable or important way. Similarly, a person's performance could be described as "merkittävästi parempi" (significantly better) than before.

The adverb is frequently employed in various contexts, including academic writing, news reporting, and everyday conversation, to emphasize the magnitude or impact of a particular phenomenon. It serves to highlight that something is not merely a minor alteration but a substantial difference or development. Its usage underscores the importance or influence of the element it modifies, drawing attention to its notable character.
