huolimattomampi

Huolimattomampi is a Finnish adjective form meaning “more careless.” It is the comparative form of huolimaton, used to compare the level of care or attentiveness between two things or people.

In Finnish grammar, the comparative degree is formed with the suffix -mpi (or -mpa after a vowel). Here, attaching -mpi to the stem huolimaton yields huolimattomampi. The form functions as an attributive modifier or as part of a predicate, agreeing with the noun it describes.

The word typically carries a negative nuance, signaling a higher degree of negligence or lack of attentiveness. It is common in everyday speech and writing when contrasting levels of care, but may be avoided in very formal contexts where more neutral phrasing is preferred.

Examples:

- Tämä virhe on huolimattomampi kuin edellinen.

- Hän on huolimattomampi työntekijä kuin hänen kollegansa.

Related terms include huolimaton (careless) and huolimattomuus (carelessness).
