Suorituskykyisempää

Suorituskykyisempää is a Finnish comparative adjective derived from the adjective suorituskykyinen, which means "efficient" or "high performing." The suffix –empää is used to form the comparative, translating literally to "more efficient" or "higher performing." In everyday Finnish, the form is usually employed in passive constructions or in phrases that require a genitive determiner, such as "suorituskykyisempää ajoneuvon" (of a more efficient vehicle) or in the idiomatic expression "suorituskykyisempää teknologiaa" (more efficient technology).

The base word suorituskykyinen itself is a compound of suoritus (performance) and kyky (ability), indicating the ability to perform effectively. Thus surokitykyisempää inherits this nuance of comparative effectiveness in contexts such as engineering, business, sports, or health care. In technical writing, Finnish often prefers the comparative suffix –empaa, but the -empää form is used for words ending with a consonant that demands an additional vowel for vowel harmony compliance. The word follows Finnish vowel harmony: the ending -empää contains front vowels a and ä, which appear as neutral vowels that do not contradict the frontness of the root.

Suorituskykyisempää appears most frequently in reports, product advertisements, and academic papers discussing performance improvements. An example sentence is: "Kehitimme järjestelmän, joka on suorituskykyisempää kuin edellinen malli," meaning "We developed a system that is more efficient than the previous model." The term functions as a straightforward comparative adjective and is understood by Finnish speakers familiar with standard language conventions.
