Myöhäisemmin

Myöhäisemmin is a Finnish adverb meaning “at a later time” or “later,” used to indicate that an action or event occurs after another reference point. It expresses a comparative sense of timing, emphasizing that something happens further along in time than something else.

The word is formed from the adjective myöhäinen (late) and its comparative form myöhäisempi (later), followed by the adverbial suffix -mmin. In usage, myöhäisemmin carries a nuance of explicit comparison or emphasis on a later moment, as opposed to more neutral time expressions.

In practice, myöhäisemmin appears in sentences that compare timing. For example: “Kokous alkoi myöhäisemmin kuin oli suunniteltu” (The meeting started later than planned). Another example: “Tutkimus julkaistiin myöhäisemmin kuin alun perin odotettiin” (The study was published later than originally expected). In everyday speech, speakers more often use myöhemmin, which conveys a general sense of postponement or sequence without the explicit comparative emphasis.

See also: myöhäinen (late), myöhäisempi (comparative adjective), myöhäisyys (lateness), myöhemmin (later, subsequently). Myöhäisemmin is standard Finnish and is more likely to appear in careful or written style when a precise comparison of timing is intended.
