joustavampi

Joustavampi is a Finnish adjective meaning more flexible or more adaptable. It is the comparative form of joustava, which denotes flexibility, adaptability, or pliability. The term is used to compare levels of flexibility across objects, systems, processes, schedules, agreements, and policy terms. It appears in everyday language as well as in technical or marketing contexts where adaptability is highlighted.

In Finnish grammar, joustavampi is formed by taking the stem of joustava and adding the comparative suffix -mpi. The adjective agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, and can be used both attributively (a more flexible solution) and predicatively (the solution is more flexible).

Common usage examples include: "Tämä aikataulu on joustavampi kuin aiempi" (This timetable is more flexible than the previous one) and "Tarjoamme joustavampia maksuvaihtoehtoja" (We offer more flexible payment options). The term can also describe non-physical flexibility, such as contractual terms, scheduling, or customer service practices.

Relation to related terms: joustava is the positive form, joustavampi is the comparative, and joustavuus refers to the noun form flexibility. The word is widely understood in Finnish-language contexts and is not tied to a specific brand or product, but rather to the general concept of increased adaptability.
