Keltaantunut

Keltaantunut is a Finnish word that describes something that has turned yellow. This discoloration can occur for a variety of reasons and affect different materials. For example, paper can become keltaantunut over time due to oxidation and exposure to light, leading to a noticeable yellowing of its pages. Similarly, certain fabrics might turn keltaantunut if they are exposed to sunlight for extended periods or if they come into contact with specific chemicals. In the context of plants, leaves can become keltaantunut when they are deprived of nutrients, particularly chlorophyll, or when they are nearing the end of their life cycle. The term is often used in a descriptive sense to indicate a change in color from its original state to a yellow hue. The underlying cause of this yellowing can vary significantly depending on the object or substance being described.
