Läpinäkyvillä

Läpinäkyvillä is a Finnish word that translates to "transparent" or "visible" in English. It is derived from the adjective "läpinäkyvä," which means transparent. The word can be used in various contexts to describe something that allows light to pass through it, or figuratively, something that is open, honest, or easy to understand.

In a literal sense, läpinäkyvillä can refer to physical objects that are see-through. For example, a glass window is läpinäkyvä. The term can also be applied to substances that are clear, such as pure water. The degree of transparency can vary, with some materials being more translucent than transparent, allowing light to pass through but distorting the image.

Figuratively, läpinäkyvillä is often used to describe processes, systems, or communication that is open and easily understood. For instance, a transparent government would be one where its decision-making processes are accessible to the public. Similarly, transparent business practices imply honesty and clarity in dealings with customers and stakeholders. The concept of transparency is important in many areas, promoting trust and accountability. In a more personal context, someone might describe a person's intentions as läpinäkyvillä, meaning they are straightforward and have nothing to hide. The word emphasizes a lack of obscurity or deception.
