realistisempi

Realistisempi is a Finnish adjective meaning “more realistic.” It is the comparative form of realistinen, formed by adding the comparative suffix -isempi to the stem of the adjective. As a modifier, it follows the same Finnish grammar as other adjectives, agreeing with the noun in case and number (for example, realistisemman suunnitelman, realistisempia suunnitelmia).

Usage and nuance: Realistisempi is used when comparing the realism of two or more things, such as plans, depictions, forecasts, or interpretations. The nuance is relative and can reflect subjective judgment as well as objective factors. Because it expresses a degree of realism, its appropriateness depends on the criteria used to judge realism in the given context.

Examples: Tämä suunnitelma on realistisempi kuin aiempi versio. Elokuvan kuvaus sodasta on realistisempi kuin monien aikaisempien teosten. Ennuste on realistisempi, mutta epävarmuus säilyy.
