tasaisemmat

Tasaisemmat is a Finnish word form used as the plural nominative of the comparative adjective tasaisempi, meaning more even. The base adjective tasainen conveys ideas of evenness, flatness, steadiness, or uniformity, and tasaisempi marks a higher degree of those qualities. In plural contexts, tasaisemmat describes multiple objects or categories that are more even compared with another set or with a previous state.

It can describe distributions, schedules, temperatures, performances, or other measurable variables where uniformity or equity has increased. The word is commonly contrasted with epätasaiset, meaning uneven, or epätasaisemmat, meaning more uneven.
