Selkeämmässä

Selkeämmässä is a Finnish grammatical form that expresses a comparison of clarity within a specific state or context. It is the inessive singular form of the comparative adjective selkeämpi, which means “clearer.” In English it can be understood as “in a clearer [state/form/condition].” The form appears when the comparative adjective is declined for case, here the inessive case (-ssä), indicating location or state “in” something.

Morphology and formation: The base is selkeä (clear). The comparative suffix -mpi yields selkeämpi (clearer). When declined in the inessive, the ending -ssä is added, producing selkeämmässä. The consonant cluster often assimilates to form the common orthography selkeämmässä, a regular pattern for Finnish adjectives with comparatives in combination with cases.

Usage: Selkeämmässä is used to describe something that is clearer relative to a reference point, typically in formal or written Finnish. It commonly appears with nouns in the inessive case, such as forms that specify state or context. Typical collocations include selkeämmässä muodossa (in a clearer form), selkeämmässä versiossa (in a clearer version), and selkeämmässä ohjeistuksessa (in a clearer set of instructions).

Examples: Tekstin loppuosa on selkeämmässä muodossa kuin ennen. Ohjeet on esitetty selkeämmässä versiossa. In these examples, the phrase conveys that the subject is in a more clear state or presentation compared with a prior reference.
