ekologisempien

Ekologisempien is a Finnish inflected form meaning more ecological or more environmentally friendly. It is not a separate lexical item on its own, but the genitive plural form of the comparative adjective ekologisempi. It is used to describe plural nouns in a genitive construction, commonly in phrases that compare environmental impact.

Etymology and form: The base is ekologi- from ekologinen, which relates to ecology. The comparative suffix in Finnish is -isempi, yielding ekologisempi (more ecological). In contexts referring to a set of items or options, the adjective takes the genitive plural ending -ien, producing ekologisempien. The noun it modifies is typically in genitive plural as well, for example in ekologi sempien valintojen.

Usage notes: Ekologisempien is used in formal or written Finnish to compare environmental performance, choices, or products. It is often paired with nouns such as valinnat, tuotteet, vaihtoehdot, or hankinta, and appears in structures like “edistää ekologisempien valintojen tekemistä” or “ekologisempien tuotteiden valinta.”

Examples:

- Kampanjan tavoitteena on edistää ekologisempien valintojen tekemistä kulutuksessa.

- Vertaile ekologisempien tuotteiden hintoja ennen ostopäätöstä.

- Sijoitusstrategia kannattaa, kun huomio kiinnittyy ekologisempien vaihtoehtojen hyödyntämiseen.
