epävakaampina

Epävakaampina is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the adjective epävakaa, meaning unstable. It represents the plural essive form of the comparative adjective epävakaampi and is used to describe several subjects in a state of being more unstable. The form is most commonly found in formal or literary contexts, where the speaker wants to emphasize instability across multiple items or situations.

Morphology and usage: Epävakaampina combines the comparative suffix -ampi with the essive plural suffix -ina, producing a word that roughly translates to “as more unstable” or “in a more unstable state” when attached to a plural noun. It is typically used with nouns in the plural in the essive case or in predicative constructions such as “ovat epävakaampina.” It is less common in everyday speech and may appear in analyses, reports, or narrative descriptions of conditions or processes.

Examples:

- Nämä olosuhteet ovat epävakaampina kuin viime vuonna.

- Raportissa olosuhteet kuvataan epävakaampina.

- Hankkeen eteneminen on epävakaampina useiden tekijöiden vuoksi.

Notes: Epävakaampina is a specialized form and may be unfamiliar to learners outside formal Finnish writing. It illustrates how Finnish can express nuanced states across multiple subjects by combining adjective, comparative, and essive endings.
