Systemaattisemmin

Systemaattisemmin is a Finnish adverb meaning “in a more systematic way” or “more systematically.” It is the comparative form of the adverb systemaattisesti, formed from the adjective systemaattinen (systematic). In Finnish, the comparative adverb is created by replacing the ending -inen in the adjective with -isemmin, yielding systemaattisemmin.

Usage is typically found in formal, academic, or analytical writing. It describes the manner in which actions are carried out or analyses are conducted, often in comparisons of methods, procedures, or studies. It can modify verbs or entire clauses: for example, “Tutkimus tehtiin systemaattisemmin kuin aikaisemmin” or “Kirjallisuuskatsaus tehtiin systemaattisemmin.”

The base adverb systemaattisesti denotes a standard systematic approach, while systemaattisemmin indicates a higher degree of systematic rigor or organization. In practice, the form is used when the writer wants to emphasize a more rigorous methodological approach than another reference point.

Examples of use include: “Toteutus suunniteltiin systemaattisemmin seuraavien vaiheiden mukaan,” and “Prosessi voidaan hallita systemaattisemmin uuden ohjeistuksen puitteissa.” The word is common in research, reporting, and evaluative writing, though it is less frequent in everyday spoken Finnish.

Etymology-wise, it is derived from systemaattinen plus the comparative/adverbial suffix -isemmin. Although synonymous expressions such as “enemmän systemaattisesti” exist, systemaattisemmin is the natural idiomatic form in many contexts.
