Legokosabb

Legokosabb is a Finnish neologism used within LEGO enthusiast circles to describe a person who is especially skilled at building with LEGO bricks. The term is informal and not tied to any official qualification; it is typically used as a compliment or self-description. A legokosabb builder is usually characterized by technical proficiency, creative design, and an ability to translate ideas into stable, attractive constructions.

Etymology and usage notes: Legokosabb is formed by combining LEGO, the brand name, with a suffix-like element that signals a comparative degree in playful Finnish. It is most common in online forums, social media, and among hobbyist groups in Finland, and may be used for individuals or as a descriptor of a particular build or builder.

Common meanings and connotations: The term often implies familiarity with advanced LEGO building techniques (for example, SNOT builds, internal supports, functional mechanisms), thoughtful planning, and the ability to document builds for others, such as public photos, step-by-step instructions, or building tips. It can be used humorously or sincerely, and may appear in captions or conversations describing a builder’s work.
