runsaampi

Runsaampi is a Finnish comparative adjective meaning more abundant or richer. It is used to describe quantities, resources, or other features that are greater in one case than in another.

Etymology: The form is derived from runsas, meaning abundant, with the standard Finnish comparative suffix -mpi, yielding runsaampi. This follows ordinary rules for forming comparatives from stems such as runsas.

Usage: It appears in neutral descriptive language, including ecology, agriculture, journalism, and literature. For example: "Sato on runsaampi tänä vuonna kuin viime vuonna." The word emphasizes greater extent or intensity without specifying exact numbers and can apply to vegetation, rainfall, wealth, or other measurable abundances.

Related terms: The base adjective is runsas, and its noun form is runsaus, both used in Finnish to discuss abundance in different grammatical contexts. Runsaampi remains a common, non-proper-noun adjective in everyday Finnish.

Notes: As a comparative adjective, runsaampi typically appears with kuin in comparisons (e.g., "more abundant than"). It is not a proper noun and does not denote a specific place or organization.
