adjektiivivartiolisiin

Adjektiivivartiolisiin is a term used in Finnish grammar to describe a specific type of comparative form in the Finnish language. This form is used to compare two or more items, expressing that one item is more or less of a certain quality than the other. The structure of adjektiivivartiolisiin involves the use of the comparative suffix "-mpi" or "-mmin" attached to the adjective stem. For example, "nopea" (fast) becomes "nopeampi" (faster) or "nopeammin" (more quickly). This form is particularly useful in sentences where the comparison is explicit, such as in phrases like "A on B:tä nopeampi" (A is faster than B). The adjektiivivartiolisiin form is distinct from the superlative form, which uses the suffix "-in" or "-immin," and from the comparative form that uses the suffix "-empi" or "-emmin." Understanding adjektiivivartiolisiin is essential for mastering Finnish grammar, as it allows for precise and nuanced comparisons in language use.
