yksinkertaistetumpana

Yksinkertaistetumpana is a Finnish adverbial form meaning “in a more simplified form” or “as something more simplified.” It is built from the verb yksinkertaistaa (to simplify) and the past participle yksinkertaistettu, with the comparative element and the essive ending -na/-nä to indicate a state or manner. The result is used to describe a version, explanation, or text that has a higher level of simplification than another.

Grammatical notes and usage. The form is relatively formal and more common in written Finnish, such as instructional or analytical writing, rather than in everyday speech. It serves to compare degrees of simplification between two or more items—for example, a text presented yksinkertaistetumpana versiona or a guide described yksinkertaistetumpana kuin alkuperäinen. In practice, speakers often choose easier constructions in conversation, such as yksinkertaisempi version or yksinkertaistetummassa muodossa, depending on the context.

Examples.

- Ohjeet on esitetty yksinkertaistetumpana kuin alkuperäinen versio.

- Teksti tarjotaan yksinkertaistetumpana versiona parempaa ymmärtämistä varten.
