tehokkaampia

Tehokkaampia is a Finnish adjective form meaning “more efficient” or “more effective.” It represents the plural comparative form of tehokas (efficient, effective) and is used when describing two or more items or when the construction requires a plural or partitive form. In practice, it appears in sentences about several things that are more efficient than others, for example in comparisons and predicates.

Morphology and usage notes: The base form is tehokas. The comparative form is tehokkaampi in the singular and tehokkaampia in the plural or partitive contexts. In a sentence with a plural subject or a partitive construction, the adjective may take the form tehokkaampia, as in Nämä koneet ovat tehokkaampia. The corresponding singular form is tehokkaampi, used with a singular subject, such as Tämä kone on tehokkaampi. The word can describe devices, methods, processes, programs, or strategies that yield greater efficiency or effectiveness.

Examples: Nämä laitteet ovat tehokkaampia kuin vanhat. Uudet ratkaisut ovat tehokkaampia koko järjestelmässä. In contexts of comparison without a direct noun, kuten, “ratkaisut ovat tehokkaampia” is also possible with ellipsis of the noun.
