Konkreettise

Konkreettise is a Finnish language term that translates to "concrete" or "tangible" in English. It refers to something that is real, physical, and can be perceived through the senses. This can apply to a wide range of things, from physical objects like a table or a house to abstract concepts that have been made manifest or observable.

In everyday language, when someone refers to something as konkreettise, they mean it is not abstract, theoretical, or imaginary. It is something that exists in the material world and can be touched, seen, heard, smelled, or tasted. For example, a concrete plan would be one with specific actions and measurable outcomes, as opposed to a vague idea.

The term can also be used in more specialized contexts. In philosophy, the distinction between the concrete and the abstract is a fundamental concept. Concrete entities are those that exist independently and have particular properties, while abstract entities are often considered to be concepts or universals that do not exist in space and time. In art and design, "concrete" can refer to a style that emphasizes form, material, and structure. The word "konkreettise" therefore encapsulates the idea of something having a definite, real existence.
