Nestemäisempiä

Nestemäisempiä is a Finnish comparative adjective form meaning more liquid or more fluid. It is used to describe substances or mixtures that have greater liquidity than others. The term is typically applied in technical or scientific contexts, such as chemistry, materials science, food science, or process engineering, where comparing the viscosity or fluidity of different liquids is relevant.

Grammatically, nestemäisempiä is the plural partitive form of the comparative adjective nestemäinen. It is used when the noun it modifies is plural and in the partitive case, for example nestemäisempiä liuoksia (more liquid solutions) or nestemäisempiä nesteitä (more liquid liquids). The base adjective nestemäinen derives from the noun neste, meaning liquid or fluid, and expresses a characteristic related to liquidity.

Common usage notes include that nestemäisempiä characterizes a relative increase in liquidity rather than an absolute property. It is often contrasted with less liquid forms, such as jäykempiä or kiinteämpiä, to describe differences in consistency, flow, or handling properties. In everyday Finnish, the term appears most frequently in descriptive passages about experimental results, formulation development, or material testing, where precise descriptions of liquid behavior are required.

Example usage:

- Näytteet olivat nestemäisempiä liuoksia kuin vertailuarvot. (The samples were more liquid solutions than the reference values.)

- Prosessin nesteet voivat olla nestemäisempiä lämpötilan noustessa. (The liquids in the process can become more fluid as the temperature rises.)
