Tärkeämpään

Tärkeämpään is a Finnish word that translates to "more important" or "to something more important" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "tärkeä," meaning "important." The suffix "-än" indicates the partitive case, which is often used to express a comparison or to refer to a portion of something.

In Finnish grammar, the partitive case is frequently employed when comparing two or more things. For example, one might say "Tämä kirja on tärkeämpään kuin se toinen," meaning "This book is more important than that other one." The partitive can also be used to indicate that something is being directed towards a more important goal or matter, as in "Keskitytään tärkeämpään," which translates to "Let's focus on something more important."

The word "tärkeämpään" can appear in various grammatical constructions depending on the context. It is a common element in everyday Finnish conversation and writing, used to express relative degrees of significance or priority. Understanding its comparative and partitive function is key to grasping its meaning in different sentences. It allows for nuanced expression when discussing priorities, values, or the relative weight of different issues.
