Matalareunainen

Matalareunainen is a Finnish term that translates to "low-sided" or "shallow" in English. It is most commonly used to describe objects or containers that have a low or minimal edge or rim.

This term can be applied to a variety of items. For instance, a matalareunainen boat would be one with a low freeboard, meaning the distance from the waterline to the top of the hull is small. This characteristic can influence the boat's stability and how it handles in rough water. Similarly, a matalareunainen box or tray would be one with short walls, making it easy to access the contents or for items to be easily removed.

In the context of kitchens and dining, matalareunainen might describe plates or bowls that are relatively flat with only a slight lip. This design can be advantageous for presenting food, especially dishes that are meant to be arranged aesthetically.

The term emphasizes the lack of significant height in the side or edge of an object. It is a descriptive adjective used to convey a specific physical attribute, often related to functionality, handling, or appearance.
