älykkäämmän

älykkäämmän is the genitive singular form of the Finnish comparative adjective älykkäämpi, meaning “smarter” or “more intelligent.” In Finnish, adjectives are declined for case and number, and the genitive singular form of the comparative is älykkäämmän. This form is not used to describe something as being smart by itself; rather, it attaches to a head noun that is in the genitive case or appears in a possessive/relational construction.

Typical usage

älykkäämmän is used when the noun it modifies is in the genitive case or when expressing possession or relation in phrases. For example:

- älykkäämmän vaihtoehdon valinta — the choice of the smarter option

- älykkäämmän henkilön näkökulma — the perspective of the smarter person

- älykkäämmän laitteen ohjeet — the instructions of the smarter device

Comparison with the base comparative

The positive form älykäs means “smart.” The comparative älykkäämpi means “smarter,” and älykkäämmän is its genitive singular, not a standalone predicative form. In everyday speech, it is more common to use the nominative comparative älykkäämpi before a noun (älykkäämpi kaveri) than to encounter the genitive form in isolation.

Notes

The genitive singular älykkäämmän is primarily a grammatical tool for indicating relationships between entities (possession, association, or description) rather than a stylistic marker. Its use is most frequent in written or formal Finnish, and in constructions that require a genitive head noun.
