Kaunis

Kaunis is a Finnish adjective meaning "beautiful" or "lovely". It is used to describe visual appeal in people, places, objects, and experiences. The term can denote physical attractiveness as well as a general sense of elegance, harmony, or charm, and it appears in everyday speech as well as literature and media.

In Finnish, adjectives decline for number and case, but not for gender. The positive form is kaunis. The comparative is kauniimpi and the superlative kaunein. The adverb form is kauniisti, used to describe how something is done (for example, hän lauloi kauniisti, "she sang beautifully"). Common examples include kaunis nainen (a beautiful woman), kaunis talo (a beautiful house), and kaunis luonto (beautiful nature).

A related noun is kauneus, meaning "beauty". Finnish also uses related expressions and compound forms to express aesthetic qualities. The word is widely used in everyday language, marketing, travel writing, and poetry to convey attraction, grace, or visual appeal.

Note: kaunis is primarily a descriptive word for physical or aesthetic appeal; it is not a fixed label or title. Its meaning can be intensified or softened by context and other grammatical forms in Finnish.
