epäluotettavampi

epäluotettavampi is the comparative form of the Finnish adjective epäluotettava. Epäluotettava translates to unreliable or untrustworthy in English. Therefore, epäluotettavampi means "more unreliable" or "less trustworthy." It is used to compare two or more entities, indicating that one possesses a lesser degree of reliability or trustworthiness than another. For instance, one might say "tämä tietolähde on epäluotettavampi kuin toinen," which translates to "this source of information is less reliable than the other." The suffix -mpi is the standard marker for the comparative degree in Finnish adjectives. The word is formed by adding the comparative suffix to the stem of the adjective. This grammatical form is essential for making nuanced comparisons in Finnish, allowing speakers to express degrees of a quality. It applies to various contexts, from personal trustworthiness to the dependability of objects or systems. The adjective itself, epäluotettava, is composed of the prefix epä- (meaning "un-" or "not-") and the word luotettava (meaning "reliable" or "trustworthy"). Thus, epäluotettavampi signifies a heightened state of unreliability compared to a baseline or another point of reference.
