vaarattomampia

Vaarattomampia is a Finnish comparative adjective meaning “more harmless” or “less dangerous.” It is the plural partitive form used when comparing several items that are considered safer than others. The base adjective is vaaraton, which means harmless.

Formation and usage details. The form vaarattomampi is produced by adding the comparative suffix -mpi to the stem of vaaraton, yielding vaarattomampi (more harmless). When the adjective modifies a plural noun in the partitive, it becomes vaarattomampia (for example, vaarattomampia vaihtoehtoja, “more harmless options”). Finnish adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so vaarattomampi or vaarattomampia appears in the appropriate inflected form depending on the sentence.

Context and frequency. Vaarattomampia is primarily encountered in linguistic descriptions, safety-focused writing, or formal discourse where comparing several alternatives is required. It is less common in casual spoken Finnish, where speakers might opt for simpler phrasing such as “turvallisemmat vaihtoehdot” (safer options) or “vähemmän vaaralliset” (less dangerous).

Example usage. A typical sentence might be: “Vaarattomampia vaihtoehtoja kannattaa harkita, kun riskit halutaan minimoida.” Another: “Tutkimuksessa esitettiin vaarattomampia ratkaisuja verrattuna perinteisiin menetelmiin.” See also: Finnish comparative forms, vaaraton, vaarallisuus.
