Suoraviivaisemmilla

Suoraviivaisemmilla is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective suoraviivainen, meaning straightforward or direct. The word combines the comparative form suoraviivaisempi (more straightforward) with the plural adessive suffix -illa/-illä, producing suoraviivaisemmilla. In Finnish, adessive -lla/-llä often expresses the means, method, or manner by which an action is carried out, so suoraviivaisemmilla modifies a plural noun in the adessive case, roughly translating to “with more straightforward ones” or “using more straightforward methods.”
