Mukavammin

Mukavammin is a Finnish adverb meaning “more comfortably” or “more conveniently.” It is the comparative form of the adverb mukavasti, which itself means “in a comfortable way.” The base adjective mukava means “comfortable” or “pleasant,” and the adverbial form mukavasti is formed with the suffix -sti; mukavammin is then formed by adding the comparative suffix -mmin to mukavasti. Thus mukavammin expresses a higher degree of comfort or convenience in the manner something is done.

In usage, mukavammin is used to compare how actions are performed or how situations feel, typically with kuin (than) or with other comparatives. It can modify verbs in sentences like “Matka sujui mukavammin kuin odotin” or “Hän istui mukavammin nojatuolissa” to indicate that the action or situation was more comfortable.

The nuance is modest and context-dependent; mukavasti can imply general comfort, while mukavammin emphasizes relative improvement. The word is neutral in tone and widely acceptable in both everyday speech and written Finnish. There are related expressions that convey similar ideas using different degrees or manners, such as “mukavammalla tavalla” (in a more comfortable way) or “enemmän mukavasti” (more comfortably), though the latter is less idiomatic.
