epäluotettavampaa

Epӓluotettavampaa is a Finnish word formed as the partitive singular of the adjective epӓluotettava in the comparative degree, meaning “more unreliable.” It is used when the adjective describes a non-countable or partitive noun, or in constructions that require the partitive case, and it commonly appears in comparisons introduced by kuin.

In Finnish, the positive form is epӓluotettava (unreliable), the comparative is epӓluotettavampi (more unreliable), and the superlative is epӓluotettavin (most unreliable). The partitive singular of the comparative, epӓluotettavampaa, reflects the grammar of Finnish adjectives when the noun they modify is in the partitive or when the sentence demands a partitive object. For example: Tämä raportti sisältää epӓluotettavampaa tietoa kuin edellinen. Se osoittaa epӓluotettavampaa säätä tänä talvena.

Usage notes: epӓluotettavampaa typically modifies mass or abstract nouns in the partitive (tietoa, dataa, säätä). It also appears in clauses of comparison with kuin, where the second item may be in partitive as required by the sentence structure. The form follows general Finnish adjective inflection rules: the stem epӓluotettava + comparative suffix leads to epӓluotettavampi, and its partitive singular ends in -ampaа -> epӓluotettavampaa.

Etymology and related forms: the word stems from epӓluotettava (unreliable) with the standard comparative suffix -mpi, and the partitive ending -aa/-ä, yielding epӓluotettavampaa. Related forms include epӓluotettavampi (nominative comparative) and epӓluotettavin (superlative). See also epӓluotettava, Finnish grammar on adjectives and partitive usage.
