Tehokkaampi

Tehokkaampi is the Finnish comparative form of the adjective tehokas, meaning more efficient or more effective. It is used to compare two or more entities in terms of efficiency, performance, or effectiveness.

Etymology and grammar: The word is formed from the root te- 'power' or 'effect' combined with the adjective suffix -kas, yielding tehokas, and the comparative suffix -mpi, producing tehokkaampi. In usage, teh and -mpi allow standard Finnish inflection, so tehosta? forms appear in different cases and numbers, such as tehokkaampi ratkaisu (a more efficient solution), tehokkaamman ratkaisun (genitive), and tehokkaammat ratkaisut (the more efficient solutions).

Usage: Tehokkaampi is common in technical, business, and everyday language. It can describe machines, processes, methods, or strategies that outperform another in terms of efficiency or output. It often appears in marketing or procurement contexts to highlight improvements, as well as in discussions of performance metrics and optimization.

Examples:

- Tämä kone on tehokkaampi kuin vanha malli.

- Yritys pyrkii löytämään tehokkaamman prosessin.

- Markkinoiden tehokkain ratkaisu valittiin investointiin.
