2levyisiä

2levyisiä is a Finnish compound adjective used primarily in technical or catalog language to describe objects that consist of two flat parts, such as sheets, plates, or leaves. The term combines the numeral 2 with levyinen, an adjective meaning plate-like or sheet-like. As a descriptive shorthand, 2levyisiä signals a two-part, plate-based configuration and is commonly found in product descriptions, engineering drawings, and assembly instructions. It is not a standard everyday Finnish word, but rather a specialized form that appears in contexts where concise specification is needed.

Etymology and usage

The word is formed from the numeral 2 and the adjective levyinen. In ordinary Finnish, similar meaning is usually conveyed by kaksilevyinen or kaksilevyiset, which are the standard forms. The 2levyisiä construction tends to appear in catalogs, technical manuals, or fast-descriptions where space is limited. Like other adjectives, its inflection follows Finnish grammar rules, with 2levyisiä representing the plural partitive form when describing multiple items.

Variants and related terms

Standard Finnish alternatives include kaksilevyinen (singular) and kaksilevynen (less common variant), with corresponding plural forms such as kaksilevyisiä. These forms are typically clearer in formal writing, while 2levyisiä may be used in shorthand notes or catalog entries where the numeral is preferred for brevity.
