avoimempaa

Avoimempaa is a Finnish word form: the partitive singular of the comparative adjective avoimampi, meaning "more open" in English. It derives from the base adjective avoin ("open") with the comparative suffix -mpi and a partitive ending -a/-ä added to the comparative stem.

Grammatical function

Avoimempaa appears where a comparative adjective is required in the partitive case. In Finnish, the partitive is used in several syntactic contexts — for example with certain verbs that govern the partitive, in incomplete or ongoing actions, and when describing indefinite amounts or qualities. The comparative form itself expresses a higher degree of the property denoted by avoin.

Forms and related words

Usage and translation

As a comparative adjective form, avoimempaa is commonly translated as "more open" or "rather more open," depending on context. Exact usage depends on case agreement and Finnish syntax; the form is not used as an adverb (avoimemmin serves that role). Pronunciation can be approximated as [ˈɑvoi̯mempɑː] (ah-voi-men-paa).

Notes

Understanding when to use avoimempaa requires familiarity with Finnish case governance and comparative constructions rather than changes in lexical meaning.
