vaihtelevammalla

Vaihtelevammalla is a Finnish grammatical form used to express that something is more variable or fluctuating. It is the adessive singular form of the comparative adjective vaihtelevampi, and it describes a noun in the adessive case to indicate that the described conditions are more variable than a referenced baseline.

The term is formed from the root vaihtelev- (to vary) with the comparative suffix -mpi, producing vaihtelevampi, and then the adessive ending -lla, yielding vaihtelevammalla. This pattern follows the general rules for -mpi adjectives in Finnish, where the adessive form often doubles a consonant when attaching the final -lla.

Usage-wise, vaihtelevammalla is used with nouns that can vary in their state or quality, typically referring to external conditions or planning contexts. Common collocations include references to weather, conditions, and schedules. In practical writing, you will see phrases such as vaihtelevammalla säällä, vaihtelevammalla kelillä or vaihtelevammalla aikataululla. The expression conveys a higher degree of variability than the baseline form and helps position the described situation relative to another reference point, such as a previous day, plan, or forecast.

Examples of usage:

- Vaihtelevammalla säällä kannattaa varautua sadevaatteisiin.

- Vaihtelevammalla aikataululla työskentelevät tiimit kohtaavat enemmän epävarmuutta.

- Vaihtelevammalla kelillä suunnitelmia voidaan joutua muuttamaan.
