laajennettavampaa

Laajennettavampaa is a Finnish comparative adjective meaning “more expandable” or “more extensible.” It describes objects, systems, or concepts whose capacity to be extended or augmented is greater than that of a reference item. The word is formed from laajennettava (expandable) with the comparative suffix -mpi, and its partitive form laajennettavampaa is used in comparisons, especially after the word kuin.

Etymology and morphology: The base verb laajentaa means “to expand.” The participle laajennettava yields the sense “that can be extended,” and the comparative form laajennettavampi expresses a higher degree of expandability. In sentences requiring the partitive case, the form laajennettavampaa appears, for example after kuin in comparative constructions. Related terms include laajennettavuus (expandability or extensibility) and laajennettava (expandable).

Usage: In formal or technical Finnish, laajennettavampaa is used to compare the extendability of two or more options. It is common in discussions of software architecture, product design, and system architecture where modularity and future growth are considerations. The term fits within the broader category of -mpi adjectives and follows standard Finnish comparative syntax, often paired with kuin to establish a comparison.

Example: Tämä ratkaisu on laajennettavampaa kuin nykyinen arkkitehtuuri. The phrase illustrates a direct comparison of how easily each option can be extended.
