Püsivamalt

Püsivamalt is an Estonian adverb meaning “more persistently” or “in a more enduring manner.” It is used to indicate that an action is carried out with a greater degree of persistence than another action or a given baseline. The form is created from the adjective püsiv (lasting, persistent) with the comparative adverbial suffix -amalt.

In usage, püsivamalt is employed in comparative constructions to describe how something is done over time. For example: “Ta jätkas tööd püsivamalt kui teised” (He continued working more persistently than others). “Projekt edeneb püsivamalt kui varasemalt” (The project progresses more persistently than before). The expression tends to appear in formal or written Estonian; in everyday speech, speakers may opt for related terms such as järjepidevalt (consistently) or pidevalt (continually), depending on nuance and context.

Notes and nuances: püsivamalt emphasizes a higher degree of persistence relative to another reference point, whereas related adverbs like püsivalt or järjepidevalt describe steadiness or regularity without explicit comparison. The term is a standard part of Estonian morphology and is understood across registers, though its explicit comparative force makes it more common in analyses, reports, or careful prose.
