lihtsamad

Lihtsamad is an Estonian adjective form meaning simpler or more easy, used to describe plural nouns. It represents the comparative form of the adjective liltne? No, lihtne, and is inflected to agree with a plural noun in the nominative case. In practice, lihtsamad is used when talking about multiple items that are easier or more straightforward than other items.

The base lihtne conveys ease or simplicity, and the comparative form lihtsam expresses a higher degree of that property. Because Estonian adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, lihtsamad appears only with plural nouns in the appropriate case. The form can also appear in predicate position: Näiteks: Need on lihtsamad. (These are simpler.)

Usage notes: lihtsamad is common in contexts comparing properties such as tasks, explanations, methods, or solutions. It can modify a wide range of plural nouns, for example, ülesanded (tasks), lahendused (solutions), või selgitused (explanations). When the noun is singular or in a different case, other inflected forms are used (for example, lihttasam with different endings in non-nominative singular or plural forms).

See also: lihtne (easy), lihtsam (comparative singular), Estonian adjective inflection.

Overall, lihtsamad is a standard, neutral grammatical form used to describe multiple items that are comparatively easier or simpler.
