Turvalisemad

Turvalisemad is the Estonian comparative plural form of the adjective turvaline, meaning more secure or safer. It is used to compare multiple items and to describe a higher level of safety relative to another set. In everyday language and professional discourse, turvalisemad functions as an attribute for nouns in plural form, such as turvalisemad lahendused (more secure solutions) or turvalisemad hooned (safer buildings).

Grammatically, turvalisemad accompanies plural nouns and is typically deployed in contexts where safety, risk reduction, or protection are being evaluated. It appears across fields such as technology, policy, architecture, and urban planning, where gradual improvements to security are discussed or marketed.

Common domains of use include cybersecurity, data protection, physical security, transportation safety, and building design. In these areas, turvalisemad solutions or systems are described as offering enhanced safeguards, reduced vulnerability, or better mitigation of threats compared with less secure alternatives.

Examples of usage:

- Ettevõte valis turvalisemad lahendused andmete kaitsmiseks. (The company chose more secure solutions to protect data.)

- Uutes linnasõlmedes on turvalisemad süsteemid tagamaks elanike turvalisus. (In new urban nodes, the safer systems ensure residents’ safety.)

In Estonian, the opposite of turvalisemad is formed with less secure constructions, such as vähe turvalised or vähem turvalised, depending on grammatical context. Turvalisemad is a neutral, descriptive term commonly used in technical and public safety discussions.
