syvällisempänä

Syvällisempänä is a Finnish word that functions as the essive form of the comparative adjective syvällisempi (more profound). It expresses that something is perceived or presented in a more profound or deeper sense. The form is commonly used in evaluative or interpretive contexts, often in written or formal language. The corresponding adverb form is syvällisemmin, meaning more deeply, used to describe the manner of performing an action.

Etymology and morphology: The base adjective is syvällinen (deep, profound). Its comparative stem is syvällisemp-, and the essive suffix -änä yields syvällisempänä. The expression is typically used predicatively with verbs such as olla (to be) and in comparisons introduced by kuin (than). In practice, it marks a state or assessment that is more profound than another reference point.

Usage: Syvällisempänä is common in literary criticism, academic writing, and thoughtful discourse where depth of interpretation or understanding is being contrasted. It is usually used to describe a perspective, analysis, or interpretation as being more profound than another. Examples include: Tulkinta on syvällisempänä kuin aiemmat arviot. Tekstianalyysi esitettiin syvällisempänä otteena kuin aiemmin. Hän pitää tätä kysymystä syvällisempänä kuin ennen. Note that a closely related adverb, syvällisemmin, is used to modify actions (how something is done) rather than to characterize a noun phrase.
