Kaksireikäs

Kaksireikäs is a Finnish adjective meaning having two holes, i.e., two perforations or openings. It is used mainly in technical or descriptive texts to specify that a part has exactly two holes.

The word is formed from the numeral kaks- (from kaksi, meaning two) and the noun reikä (hole), with the adjectival suffix -sä. This kind of compound is common in Finnish when describing material properties or design features.

In usage, kaksireikäs describes objects such as buttons, washers, seals, connectors, or mounting plates where the two holes are a defining characteristic. It is more common in catalogs, product descriptions, or engineering drawings than in everyday speech. There are related forms and synonyms in Finnish, including two-holed or double-holed descriptions, but kaksireikäs is the standard adjective form in contexts where a concise property description is preferred.

Examples: kaksireikäs nappi (a two-hole button) or kaksireikäs liitin (a two-hole connector).
