kärsivällisempiä

kärsivällisempiä is the comparative form of the Finnish adjective "kärsivällinen". "Kärsivällinen" translates to "patient" in English. Therefore, "kärsivällisempiä" means "more patient" or "more patiently". This grammatical form is used when comparing two or more entities or situations in terms of their patience. For instance, one might say that person A is "kärsivällisempiä" than person B, indicating that person A possesses a greater degree of patience.

The suffix "-mpiä" is the plural partitive case of the comparative adjective ending "-mpi". This means that "kärsivällisempiä" is used when the noun being described is plural and in the partitive case. The partitive case in Finnish often indicates an indefinite quantity or an incomplete action, and when used with comparatives, it signifies a comparison among multiple items or individuals where the focus is on a portion or a subset. For example, if referring to a group of people, one might say "he olivat kärsivällisempiä kuin odotettiin" (they were more patient than expected), where "he" (they) is plural, implying a comparison within that group or against a general expectation. The word's usage is crucial for nuanced expression of comparative patience in Finnish sentences.
