kosteammat

Kosteammat is a Finnish adjective form meaning more humid or moister. It is the comparative form of the word kostea, used to compare moisture levels between two or more subjects. In practice, kosteammat describes situations, conditions, or materials that have higher moisture content than another reference.

It is not a standalone concept with a dedicated definition outside of ordinary language; rather, it appears in descriptive writing, meteorology, agriculture, and construction whenever moisture is compared. The form agrees with plural nouns, as in phrases referring to several items whose moisture level is greater.

Usage examples include kosteammat olosuhteet (more humid conditions) and kosteammat materiaalit (more damp materials). In weather forecasts or soil reports, the term may help distinguish relative moisture levels between sites or times.

Limitations: Because it is a normal comparative adjective, its meaning is context-dependent and not a separate technical term.
