lühiajalisem

lühiajalisem is the comparative form of the Estonian adjective lühiajaline, which translates to "short-term" or "brief" in English. Therefore, lühiajalisem means "shorter-term" or "more brief". It is used to compare two or more things in terms of their duration or extent in time. For instance, one might say that a particular project is lühiajalisem than another, implying it will be completed in a shorter period. Similarly, a person might describe a friendship as lühiajalisem if it has lasted for a less extended period compared to another relationship. The suffix "-em" is added to the adjective's stem to form the comparative degree in Estonian. This grammatical form allows for nuanced expression when discussing the temporal aspects of various situations, events, or entities. It indicates a relative brevity when contrasted with something else.
