Epäsuorakulmainen

Epäsuorakulmainen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "non-rectangular" or "not right-angled" in English. It describes a shape or object that does not possess all the characteristics of a rectangle. Specifically, it implies that at least one of the angles within the shape is not a 90-degree angle.

In geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. Therefore, anything described as epäsuorakulmainen would deviate from this definition. This could include various polygons, such as parallelograms that are not rectangles, trapezoids, rhombuses that are not squares, or any irregular polygon with angles not all equal to 90 degrees. The term is the negation of "suorakulmainen," which means "rectangular" or "right-angled."

The usage of epäsuorakulmainen is straightforward. For instance, one might refer to an epäsuorakulmainen piha (a non-rectangular yard) or an epäsuorakulmainen huone (a non-rectangular room). It can also be applied to abstract concepts or situations that lack a perfectly aligned or organized structure, though its primary meaning is geometric. When describing a shape, it simply indicates the absence of perfect right angles.
