tarkemmalla

Tarkemmalla is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “at a more detailed level” or “with more precision.” It is the adessive singular form of the comparative adjective tarkempi (more precise). In Finnish, adessive forms express manner or state, and tarkemmalla is typically used with a following noun in the adessive case to indicate the degree of detail or precision being applied.

Etymology and form are straightforward in Finnish grammar. tarkempi derives from tarkka (precise) with the comparative suffix -mpi, and the adessive suffix -lla yields tarkemmalla. This construction is common in formal, academic, and technical writing to signal that a statement or analysis is being considered at a higher level of detail than before.

Usage and examples. Tarkemmalla is usually paired with a noun in the adessive case, for example: “tarkemmalla tasolla” (at a more detailed level), “tarkemmalla analyysillä” (with a more thorough analysis), or “tarkemmalla tarkastelulla” (with a more in-depth examination). In sentences, it serves to shift emphasis toward greater accuracy or depth: “Raportti esittää tulokset tarkemmalla tasolla.” “Tarkemmalla analyysillä voidaan paljastaa lisätietoja.” These phrases are common in scientific, technical, and analytical writing, as well as in policy discussions where precision matters.
