jähmettyneempi

Jähmettyneempi is a Finnish word that describes a state of being more frozen or stiff than before. It is the comparative form of the adjective "jähmettynyt," which means frozen or stiff. The word can be used in both literal and figurative senses.

Literally, "jähmettyneempi" might describe water that has become more frozen, or a body part that has become more numb and immobile due to cold. For example, one might say that the lake's surface became "jähmettyneempi" after a particularly cold night. Similarly, after prolonged exposure to the cold, one's fingers might feel "jähmettyneempi."

Figuratively, "jähmettyneempi" can refer to a person or situation that has become more rigid, unyielding, or hesitant. It can imply a lack of flexibility or an increased reluctance to change or act. For instance, a negotiation might become "jähmettyneempi" if one party refuses to compromise. Or, an individual who was already somewhat reserved might become even more so, described as "jähmettyneempi," in a stressful situation. The word conveys a sense of increased immobility or resistance, whether physical or emotional.
