enemmän

Enemmän is a Finnish adverb meaning more. It expresses a greater quantity, amount, or degree relative to a reference point. It is used with nouns in the partitive to indicate a larger amount: enemman kahvia (more coffee), enemman aikaa (more time), enemman rahaa (more money). In comparative constructions it commonly appears with kuIN to convey “more than”: Hänellä on enemmän rahaa kuin minulla (She has more money than I do).

Enemmän can also follow verbs and adjectives in contexts of increased value or desire, as in haluan enemmän (I want more) or meillä on enemmän tietoa (we have more information). The form is generally invariable; it does not inflect for case or number.

In Finnish, enemmäLLä is distinct from lisää, which signals an addition or increase in a more general sense rather than a relative amount. There is also an intensified form enemmäNkin, used to emphasize an even greater degree, roughly translating to “even more.” Enemmän is a common, flexible word in everyday Finnish, appearing in spoken and written language across a range of styles.
