epämukavampi

Epämukavampi is a Finnish comparative adjective meaning "more uncomfortable" or "less comfortable." It is the comparative form of epämukava (uncomfortable) and is formed by adding the suffix -mpi to the stem epämukava, with standard Finnish inflection rules applying. The prefix ep- denotes negation, so epämukavampi conveys a higher degree of discomfort relative to another object or situation.

Usage of epämukavampi follows the same patterns as other Finnish adjectives. It agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, and can take the usual comparative and superlative inflections: epämukavampi in singular, epämukavammat in plural for the nominative, and corresponding forms in other cases (e.g., epämukavammassa, epämukavimmassa). The word is commonly used to compare two or more items or experiences in terms of how uncomfortable they are.

Examples:

- Tämä tuoli on epämukavampi kuin tuo. (This chair is more uncomfortable than that one.)

- Olo oli epämukavampi päivän mittaan. (The feeling became more uncomfortable as the day went on.)

- He tarjolla oli epämukavampi vaihtoehto. (It was a more uncomfortable option.)

Related terms include mukava (comfortable), mukavampi (more comfortable), and epämiellyttävä (unpleasant), though epämiellyttävä is not a direct synonym of epämukavampi. Epämukavampi is a standard, neutral form used in everyday Finnish to express comparative levels of discomfort.
