pysyvämpiä

Pysyvämpiä is a Finnish grammatical form used as the plural partitive of the comparative adjective pysyvämpi, meaning more permanent or longer lasting. It functions like an adjective that describes plural nouns in the partitive case, indicating a greater degree of permanence than another option.

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. The comparative form pysyvämpi is created from the positive pysyvä by adding the comparative suffix -mpi, and its plural partitive form becomes pysyvämpiä. This form is typical when the noun is plural and in the partitive case, as in phrases referring to multiple items considered in a lasting sense.

Pysyvämpiä is commonly found in discussions about policies, plans, or solutions where durability or long-term viability is a criterion. Examples include sentences like "Tarvitaan pysyvämpiä ratkaisuja" (We need more lasting solutions) or "Päätökset on tehtävä pysyvämpiä vaikutuksia varten" (Decisions must be made for longer-lasting effects). The term is purely grammatical and does not constitute a separate concept beyond the ordinary sense of comparative durability.

Overall, pysyvämpiä is a standard Finnish inflection used to express a higher degree of permanence with plural nouns in the partitive, reflecting the language’s emphasis on gradation and case-based agreement. It appears in formal and written Finnish, especially in analyses, planning documents, and opinion pieces where durability or endurance is evaluated.
