Leventäminen

Leventäminen is a Finnish term that broadly refers to the act of making something wider, broader, or more expansive. This can apply to various contexts, from physical objects to abstract concepts. In a literal sense, leventäminen can describe the process of widening a road, expanding a building's footprint, or increasing the girth of a tree trunk. It involves adding material or space to increase dimensions horizontally.

Beyond the physical, leventäminen can also describe the expansion of knowledge, understanding, or experience. For example, a person might engage in leventäminen of their worldview by traveling, reading widely, or interacting with diverse groups of people. In this sense, it's about broadening one's horizons and becoming more open to new ideas and perspectives. The term can also be used in a more figurative sense, such as leventäminen of a company's product line or services, meaning to diversify and offer a wider range of options to customers. The core idea remains consistent: increasing scope, scale, or breadth.
