Kulmakohtainen

Kulmakohtainen is a Finnish adjective meaning corner-related or pertaining to a corner or angle. It is formed from kulma (corner, angle) and the suffix -kohtainen, which indicates relation to or specificity of something. The term is used in technical Finnish to describe aspects that depend on a corner, a corner point, or an angular relationship.

In practice, kulmakohtainen is most common in geometry, architecture, and technical fields such as computer-aided design (CAD) and geographic information systems (GIS). It describes data, features, or considerations tied to a corner or vertex. Examples include kulmakohtainen piste (corner point), kulmakohtainen sijainti (corner location), or kulmakohtainen suunnittelu (corner-oriented design). The exact interpretation can vary by discipline, but the general idea is that the item in question is related to a corner rather than to the object as a whole.

Etymology and usage notes: the word combines kulma with the relational suffix -kohtainen, a common construction in Finnish to form “corner-related” terms. The term is primarily found in technical or formal Finnish and is less common in everyday language, where more general phrases such as kulmaisia/piirteitä nurkissa might be used depending on the context.
