polaarsemad

Polaarsemad is an Estonian adjective form meaning "more polar." It is the plural nominative form of the comparative adjective polaarsem, which comes from polaarne meaning "polar" with the comparative suffix -sem. In Estonian, adjectives decline for number and case, so polaarsem is used with singular nouns and polaarsemad with plural nouns.

Usage and examples: Polaarsemad describes something with more polar characteristics or conditions relative to another thing. Example: Need piirkonnad on polaarsemad kui teised. Polaarsemad ilmastikutingimused võivad mõjutada elusolendeid, ökosüsteeme ja nende kohastumisi.

Contexts: The term is commonly used in geography, climatology and ecology to compare regions, climates or ecological features that are more typical of polar areas, such as lower temperatures, greater seasonal variation in daylight, or higher albedo. It functions as the plural counterpart to the singular comparative polaarsem and, like other Estonian comparatives, forms the degree of comparison within sentences describing multiple items.
