pidemmiltäkin

Pidemmiltäkin is a Finnish word that translates to "even longer" or "even more extended" in English. It is a comparative form of the adverb "pitkältä," which means "long." The suffix "-kin" adds emphasis, signifying that something is not just long, but exceptionally or surprisingly so.

The word can be used in various contexts to describe durations, distances, or even abstract concepts. For instance, one might say "matka oli pidemmiltäkin kuin odotimme," meaning "the journey was even longer than we expected." Similarly, it could be used to describe a period of waiting, such as "odotusaika oli pidemmiltäkin kuin normaalisti," translating to "the waiting time was even longer than usual."

In a more figurative sense, "pidemmiltäkin" can refer to situations that require extended effort or attention. For example, a complex task might be described as needing "pidemmiltäkin pohdinnoilta," implying that it requires more prolonged consideration than initially thought. The nuance of "pidemmiltäkin" lies in its ability to convey a sense of exceeding expectations regarding length or duration, often with a subtle implication of surprise or inconvenience.
