yhdistyneempi

Yhdistyneempi is a Finnish adjective meaning "more united" or "more closely allied." It is the comparative form of the participial stem yhdistyne, derived from the verb yhdistyä, “to unite” or “to join.” The comparative suffix -empi is attached to the stem to express a higher degree of unity or cohesion relative to another reference point. The term can describe political coalitions, organizations, or groups that have become more integrated or cooperative.

Usage in Finnish follows standard adjective inflection. For example, yhdistyneempi can be used with nouns in various cases and numbers: yhdistyneemmän (genitive singular), yhdistyneempää (partitive singular), yhdistyneempiä (partitive plural), and so on. In comparative constructions it is typically paired with kuin, as in “yhdistyneempi kuin ennen” meaning “more united than before.” In everyday language, more common alternatives for similar meaning include yhtenäisempi or tiiviimpi, which emphasize cohesion or closeness rather than formal unification.

Notes on style: yhdistyneempi tends to appear more in formal, political, or analytical writing where the emphasis is on the degree of structural unity between actors, groups, or institutions. In everyday speech, speakers may choose other synonyms depending on nuance and register.
