tarkemman

Tarkemman is a Finnish word form that functions as the genitive singular of the adjective tarkempi, meaning more precise or more detailed. It is not a standalone lexical item but an inflected form used to modify a noun in the genitive case or to form part of a compound noun phrase.

In Finnish, adjectives decline for case and number, and the comparative tarkempi becomes tarkemman in the genitive singular. Examples include tarkemman vastauksen, meaning “of a more precise answer,” and tarkemman kuvan perusteella, meaning “based on the more precise image.” The form changes with other cases as part of standard Finnish inflection; for instance, the partitive would be tarkempaa.

Origin and usage: tarkempi is formed from tarkka “precise, careful” plus the comparative suffix -mpi. The genitive singular ending -n yields tarkemman, which appears in phrases where the adjective describes a noun in genitive. It is common in written and spoken Finnish, particularly in contexts involving comparison, evaluation, or specification.

Examples:

- Tarjoamme tarkemman vastauksen mahdollisimman pian.

- Tarkemman kuvauksen antaminen auttaa ymmärtämään ilmiön paremmin.

- Heille esitettiin tarkemman tiedonpyynnön perusteella.

Notes: tarkemman is not a standalone noun; it is the inflected form of the adjective tarkempi. Related terms include tarkka (precise) and tarkempi (more precise). The word is used across various registers, from everyday language to academic writing, wherever a distinction in precision is being made.
