Pitkäaikaisemmin

Pitkäaikaisemmin is a Finnish adverb that expresses the comparative degree of the adjective pitkäaikainen (long-term). It indicates that something is done or characterized to a greater long-term extent or over a longer time horizon than another reference point. The form is created by adding the adverbial comparative suffix -emmin to the stem pitkäaikais-.

Usage of pitkäaikaisemmin is typically found in written, formal language, such as policy documents, research reports, and discussions about time horizons. It answers questions related to degree or duration, for example “to what extent over time?” or “for how long compared to before.” It is not a common everyday adverb and can sound technical or formal in casual speech. It is often contrasted with pitkäaikaisesti, which means “in a long-term manner” and emphasizes manner rather than a comparison of time horizons.

Examples:

- Projekti on toteutettu pitkäaikaisemmin kuin aiemmin suunniteltiin.

- Tulevat rakennushankkeet on suunniteltu pitkäaikaisemmin kuin nykyinen budjetti mahdollistaa.
