tehokkaamman

Tehokkaamman is the genitive singular form of the Finnish comparative adjective tehokkaampi, which means more efficient. It is not a standalone lexeme but a grammatical inflection used when the noun it accompanies is in the genitive case. For example, in the phrase tehokkaamman vaihtoehdon valinta, it signals “the selection of the more efficient option.” Similarly, tehokkaamman laitteen rakentaminen means “the construction of the more efficient device.”

Etymology and morphology: The base adjective tehokas derives from teho, meaning power or effect. The comparative form is tehokkaampi, formed with the comparative suffix and phonological adjustments. The genitive singular of that form is tehokkaamman, producing variants such as tehokkaamman suunnitelman or tehokkaamman ratkaisun. In Finnish, adjectives decline for case and number, so sostiene kuten this form appears precisely where the noun is genitive. Consequently, tehokkaamman does not function as a separate word in dictionaries but as a grammatical variant of tehokkaampi.

Usage: Tehokkaamman is commonly used in written and spoken Finnish to denote a higher degree of efficiency within a clause where the related noun is in genitive. It contrasts with the positive form tehokas and the superlative forms like tehokkaampi (comparative) and tehokkaimmat (superlative plural). Because it is a case-inflected form, its exact spelling depends on the noun it modifies.
