Usage notes

 * There are two comparative constructions in Finnish:
 * the particle construction with (fixed word order: [comparative] +  + [comparee in the nominative case])
 * fi

kissa on isompi kuin hiiri

cat-NOM COP big-CMPR than mouse-NOM

the cat is bigger than a mouse
 * the locative construction in which the comparee takes the partitive case (word order not fixed, but unmarked is [comparee in the partitive case] + [comparative])
 * fi

kissa on hiirtä isompi

cat-NOM COP mouse-PTV big-CMPR

the cat is bigger than a mouse
 * When the comparee and the comparative are single words, both constructions are common, and the locative construction is probably slightly more so, especially when the comparee is a common word (such as a personal pronoun).
 * As the comparee or the comparative gets longer, there is an increasing tendency to use the particle construction, which is the only option with relative clauses (like in the usage example above, directly under the definition).
