Täytellisempi

Täytellisempi is a Finnish adjective in the comparative form. The base adjective täyteläinen means rich, full-bodied, or substantial, used to describe flavors, textures, or character. The standard comparative form is täyteläisempi, formed from the stem täytelä- with the suffix -isempi. The variant täytellisempi is uncommon and generally regarded as nonstandard or a misspelling, though it may appear in informal writing or regional usage.

In practice, täyteläisempi is used to compare how pronounced a quality is. Examples: “Tämä viini on täyteläisempi kuin edellinen vuosikerta” (This wine is fuller/richer than the previous vintage); “täyteläinen maku” can become “täyteläisempi maku” to indicate a more pronounced fullness, while non-food senses such as a “täyteläisempi ääni” describe a richer, warmer voice. The word often conveys a sense of abundance, depth, or richness rather than heaviness.

Related terms include täyteläinen (full-bodied, rich), täyteläisyys (richness, fullness), and täyteinen in some colloquial uses. The concept is common in culinary descriptions, wine tasting, music, and expressive language when signaling a higher degree of fullness or weight. When accuracy is important, the normative form to use is täyteläisempi; täytellisempi may be encountered but is not regarded as standard Finnish.
