Vakiintuneempia

Vakiintuneempia is a Finnish adjectival form used to describe multiple entities that are more established than others. It is the plural partitive form of the comparative adjective vakiintuneempi, which translates roughly as "more established." The stem vakiintune- comes from the concept of becoming established or having reached a settled state, and the suffix -mpi marks the comparative degree in Finnish.

In usage, vakiintuneempia describes entities that, in comparison to a baseline, have a greater degree of establishment. It commonly appears before plural nouns in the partitive case, for example vakiintuneempia yrityksiä (more established companies) or vakiintuneempia käytäntöjä (more established practices). It can also function predicatively with plural subjects, as in Ne ovat vakiintuneempia kuin aiemmin (They are more established than before).

The form is part of typical Finnish adjective agreement and does not constitute a separate noun. It is widely used in business, journalism, and academic writing to distinguish organizations, practices, or institutions that have achieved a higher level of establishment or stability relative to others. Related forms include vakiintuneempi (the singular, non-partitive comparative) and vakiintunut (established, in the past participle sense). Frequencies of usage reflect typical comparisons in Finnish discourse about maturity, reputation, or organizational development.
