Vaarallisempia

Vaarallisempia is a Finnish adjective form meaning more dangerous. It is the partitive plural form of the comparative of the adjective vaarallinen (dangerous). In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case, so vaarallisempia is used with plural nouns in the partitive case, for example when referring to an indefinite quantity or sum of items.

Morphology and usage notes: The basic adjective is vaarallinen. The comparative form is vaarallisempi (singular) or vaarallisemmat (nominative plural). When the noun is in the partitive plural, the adjective takes the form vaarallisempia. This form is common in contexts such as risk assessment, journalism, safety planning, and scientific descriptions where a comparison of danger levels across multiple items or situations is needed.

Common contexts include safety analyses, hazard warnings, and discussions about risk levels in different scenarios. It is used to compare two or more things or events in terms of danger, for example: "Vaarallisempia tilanteita voi syntyä, jos varusteet ovat puutteelliset" or "Nämä tilanteet ovat vaarallisempia kuin aiemmat." The word usually appears with plural nouns such as tilanteita (situations), alueita (areas), or tapahtumia (events) in the partitive case.

Related terms include vaarallinen (dangerous), vaarallisempi (more dangerous, singular), and vaarallisimman (the most dangerous). The term is neutral and primarily descriptive, without inherent value judgments beyond the comparative assessment of risk.
