suositeltavampi

Suositeltavampi is the comparative form of the Finnish adjective suositeltava, meaning more recommended or more advisable. It is used when comparing two or more options, instructions, or guidelines to indicate that one choice is considered more suitable or guidance-worthy than another. It should not be confused with suositumpi, which usually refers to popularity rather than advisability.

Formation and usage: suositeltavampi is formed by adding the comparative suffix -mpi to the stem suositeltav-, giving suositeltavampi. Like other Finnish adjectives, it agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case (for example, suositeltavampi vaihtoehto, suositeltavammat vaihtoehdot). The associated superlative form is suositeltavin, used to denote the most recommended option.

Nuance: suositeltavampi expresses a judgment based on evidence, guidelines, or expert opinion rather than mere preference or popularity. In formal contexts, it can appear in recommendations, product reviews, or safety advisories, signaling a stronger recommendation than another option without claiming absolute certainty.

Examples:

- Tämä vaihtoehto on suositeltavampi kuin toinen, koska se täyttää kriteerit paremmin. (This option is more recommended than another because it meets the criteria better.)

- Tutkijat suosittelevat suositeltavampaa lähestymistapaa tutkimuksessa. (Researchers recommend a more advisable approach in the study.)
