Valmiimpi

Valmiimpi is a Finnish adjective that functions as the comparative form of valmis, meaning “more ready” or “more prepared.” It is used to compare levels of readiness between people, plans, or situations.

Morphology and usage: The comparative suffix -mpi attaches to the stem valmi- (derived from valmis). The form valmiimpi is used with singular subjects and is placed where adjectives appear in a sentence, agreeing with Finnish grammar for descriptive modifiers. The word can appear in predicates or attribute positions, often paired with kuin to set up a comparison.

Examples:

- Olemme valmiimpia kuin koskaan. (We are more ready than ever.)

- Hän on valmiimpi aloittamaan projektin. (He/She is more prepared to start the project.)

- Tämä versio on valmiimpi kuin edellinen. (This version is more ready/prepared than the previous one.)

Notes: Valmiimpi relates to the broader set of words built from valmis, which also includes valmis (ready) and valmius (readiness or preparedness). The Finnish comparative form is a standard feature of adjectives and is commonly used in spoken and written language to indicate increased readiness. The corresponding superlative is formed with a different suffix, but valmiimpi itself is primarily encountered as a comparative form.
