jyrkämpi

Jyrkämpi is a Finnish word that translates to "steeper" in English. It is the comparative form of the adjective "jyrkkä," which means steep. This word is commonly used to describe inclines, slopes, or gradients that are more pronounced or abrupt. For example, one might refer to a "jyrkämpi mäki" as a steeper hill or a "jyrkämpi polku" as a steeper path.

The word "jyrkämpi" can also be used metaphorically to describe situations or changes that are more intense or rapid. For instance, a "jyrkämpi kasvu" could refer to steeper growth, perhaps in economic figures or population. Similarly, a "jyrkämpi muutos" would indicate a more drastic or abrupt change. Its usage is versatile, extending from physical geography to abstract concepts, always conveying the idea of increased intensity or gradient.
