jäykempään

jäykempään is a Finnish word. It is the allative case of the word "jäykkä". "Jäykkä" translates to stiff, rigid, or inflexible in English. The allative case in Finnish often indicates movement towards a place or a state. Therefore, "jäykempään" can be interpreted as "towards a stiffer" or "into a stiffer state".

The word might be used in contexts describing a physical object becoming more rigid. For example, if a material is initially flexible and then undergoes a process that makes it less so, one might say it is becoming "jäykempään". It could also refer to a change in a more abstract sense, such as a person becoming more inflexible in their opinions or behavior.

The comparative form of "jäykkä" is "jäykempi," meaning "stiffer." The "-än" ending is the allative case suffix for singular nouns in Finnish. Thus, "jäykempään" specifically denotes movement or transition into a state that is comparably stiffer than a previous state. The precise meaning would depend heavily on the surrounding sentence and context in which it is used.
