Mukavamman

Mukavamman is a Finnish inflected form used to express a higher degree of pleasantness. It derives from the adjective mukava, meaning pleasant, comfortable, or nice, and represents the comparative mood. In standard Finnish, the comparative form is mukavampi; mukavamman appears when this comparative adjective operates in a genitive singular position before a noun, or within phrases that require the genitive case.

Morphology and usage

In everyday language, the basic comparative is mukavampi, as in “Tämä kahvila on mukavampi kuin tuo,” meaning “This cafe is more pleasant than that.” When the comparative adjective modifies a noun in the genitive case, the form often appears as mukavamman, for example in a noun phrase like mukavamman kahvilan etsiminen, “the search for a more pleasant cafe.” The precise inflection depends on the overall syntactic construction and case requirements of the noun it accompanies.

Related forms

The positive form is mukava; the comparative form is mukavampi; the superlative is mukavin. Mukavamman is thus a specific inflectional realization of the comparative used in relation to a genitive noun or within certain grammatical contexts.

Examples

- mukavamman kahvilan löytäminen, “finding a more pleasant cafe.”

- Tällä viikolla etsin mukavamman vaihtoehdon, “This week I am looking for a more pleasant option.”
