myöhempänä

myöhempänä is a Finnish adverb derived from the word myöhä, meaning "late." It signifies a later point in time, either in a chronological sequence or in relation to a specific event or period. It can be translated into English as "later," "subsequently," or "afterwards."

The word myöhempänä is often used to describe an action or occurrence that happens after something else has already taken place. For example, "Hän saapui myöhempänä kuin oli luvannut" translates to "He arrived later than he had promised." It can also refer to a later stage of a process or development. In this context, "myöhempänä vaiheena" would mean "at a later stage."

The adverbial form myöhempänä indicates the temporal relationship and is typically placed within the sentence to modify a verb or an entire clause. Its usage is common in both spoken and written Finnish, contributing to the precise expression of time and sequence. The word is a fundamental part of the Finnish language, enabling speakers to clearly delineate events in a temporal order.
