sopivampia

Sopivampia is a Finnish adjective form meaning “more suitable” and is used to compare the suitability of multiple items. It is the plural partitive form of the comparative adjective sopivampi, which itself comes from sopiva, meaning suitable or appropriate. In Finnish grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they describe in number and case, so sopivampi becomes sopivampia when modifying a plural noun in the partitive or other compatible cases.

Sopivampia is typically used when discussing choices, options, or designs that are judged to be better suited for a given purpose than others. It frequently appears with the partitive plural, for example after words like vaihtoehtoja (options) or ratkaisuja (solutions). The comparative construction can also be formed with kuin to contrast two sets, as in “Nämä ratkaisut ovat sopivampia kuin nuo.”

Examples:

- Tarjoamme useita sopivampia vaihtoehtoja. (We offer several more suitable options.)

- Nämä ratkaisut ovat sopivampia kuin nuo. (These solutions are more suitable than those.)

- Käytämme sopivampia malleja tässä projektissa. (We use more suitable models in this project.)
