kannattavampia

Kannattavampia is a Finnish adjective form used to describe something that is more profitable or advantageous than alternatives. It is the partitive plural form of the comparative adjective kannattavampi, which is built from the base kannattava meaning profitable or worthwhile. In Finnish, comparatives are formed with the suffix -mpi, and when the modified noun is plural and in the partitive case, the form becomes -m‑pia, producing kannattavampia.

Kannattavampia is typically used with plural nouns in the partitive case, for example kannattavampia vaihtoehtoja (more profitable options) or kannattavampia investointikohteita (more profitable investment targets). A sentence such as Tarjolla on kannattavampia vaihtoehtoja kuin nykyinen suunnitelma illustrates its use in a comparative sense. In business language, kannattavampia expressions are common when weighing financial viability, risk, and return.

Etymology and related forms: kannattavampia derives from kannattava, with the comparative suffix -mpi, and the plural partitive ending -ia. The corresponding positive form is kannattava, and the regular comparative singular is kannattavampi; the superlative is kannattavimmat.

Nuance and usage: kannattavampia emphasizes financial profitability or cost-effectiveness, often supported by data such as cost–benefit analyses or projected cash flows. It is distinct from tuottavampi, which centers more on productive yield or output. In neutral, informative writing, kannattavampia should be used when referring to multiple items or scenarios that are judged to be more profitable than others.
