tehokkaampin

Tehokkaampin is the genitive singular form of the Finnish comparative adjective tehokkaampi, meaning more efficient or more effective. It is used when the accompanying noun is in the genitive case, to express a comparison at the level of that noun.

In Finnish grammar, the adjective tehokkaampi can take different inflections depending on the case and number of the noun it modifies. When used with a genitive noun, the form often appears as tehokkaampin before the genitive noun, for example in phrases such as tehokaampin ratkaisun, which translates roughly to “the more efficient solution’s” or “a more efficient solution.” This reflects how adjectives agree with the case of the noun they describe.

Usage notes: teokkkaampin is mainly encountered in written or formal Finnish and in phrases that require a genitive construction. In everyday speech, speakers frequently use the nominative form tehokkaampi before a non-genitive noun (for example, tehokkaampi ratkaisu: “a more efficient solution”). Tehokkaampin is thus primarily a grammatical inflection rather than a standalone lexical item.
