Epämetallistyyppisiin
Epämetallistyyppisiin is a Finnish term that translates to "non-metallic" or "like a non-metal" in English. It refers to substances or elements that exhibit properties characteristic of non-metals, as opposed to metals.

They tend to be poor conductors of heat and electricity, are often brittle in solid form, and typically have lower melting and boiling points than metals. Their chemical behavior is also distinct, as they often gain or share electrons in chemical reactions to form covalent bonds or anions.
When describing a material or element as "epämetallistyyppisiin," it implies a lack of metallic luster, malleability,
