varauksellisemmin

Varauksellisemmin is a Finnish adverb meaning “more cautiously” or “with more reserve.” It functions as the comparative adverb form of the adjective varauksellinen, which describes someone or something as reserved, cautious, or tentative. The word is used to indicate that an action, statement, or assessment is performed with a greater degree of prudence than another baseline.

Grammatically, varauksellisemmin is formed from varauksellinen by adding the comparative adverb suffix and is often related to the adverb varauksellisesti. It tends to appear in more formal or written contexts; in everyday speech speakers may opt for synonyms such as varovaisemmin.

The term is commonly employed in journalism, academic writing, and political or risk analyses to underline increased caution or skepticism. It can modify verbs or entire clauses, emphasizing a measured, non-committal stance. For example, a report might state that experts responded varauksellisemmin to new data, or a spokesperson spoke varauksellisemmin than in previous briefings.

Examples:

- Hän vastasi varauksellisemmin kuin aiemmin.

- Tutkimusraportti arvioi riskit varauksellisemmin ottaen huomioon mahdolliset virhelähteet.
