kärsivällisemmät

Kärsivällisemmät is the comparative form of the Finnish word "kärsivällinen," which translates to "patient" in English. The comparative form "kärsivällisemmät" is used to indicate a greater degree of patience than another person or entity. It is a plural form, meaning it refers to multiple individuals or things that possess more patience.

In Finnish grammar, the comparative suffix "-mpi" is added to the adjective, and the plural ending "-t" is attached for the nominative plural. Therefore, "kärsivällisemmät" literally means "more patient ones." This form is employed when comparing two or more subjects to highlight their relative patience levels. For instance, one might say "Nämä ihmiset ovat kärsivällisemmät kuin nuo" which translates to "These people are more patient than those." The context in which "kärsivällisemmät" is used is crucial for understanding the specific comparison being made. It can apply to various situations, from waiting in line to dealing with difficult tasks or individuals. The concept of patience itself is universally understood, and the Finnish language provides a specific grammatical tool to express a comparative degree of this virtue.
