Mattapintaisella

Mattapintaisella is the adessive singular form of the Finnish adjective mattapintainen, meaning matte-finished or having a matte surface. The base noun is mattapinta (matte finish or matte surface). The form mattapintaisella is used to describe something that possesses a matte finish or is located on a matte-surfaced surface, typically in phrases indicating state or location.

In usage, mattapintaisella is common in product descriptions, design, printing and photography contexts. For example, “Kuva on tulostettu mattapintaisella paperilla” means the image is printed on matte-finish paper, and “laite on mattapintaisella viimeistelyllä” indicates a device with a matte finish. The form reflects the grammatical case and number of the noun it modifies, while preserving the meaning of a non-reflective, non-glossy surface.

Etymology and form notes: mattapintainen is formed from mattapinta (matte surface) with the adjective suffix -ainen; mattapintaisella is the adessive singular inflection used when describing something that is on or characterized by a matte surface. Finnish adjectives agree with the noun they modify in case and number, so the exact ending changes with the noun’s case (for example, pinnalla, pinnalla tarkoitettuna, etc.).
