Pesevä

Peseävä is a term that can refer to a few different things, primarily related to cleaning or washing. In its most common usage, it is a Finnish adjective meaning "washable" or "cleansable." This adjective is often applied to materials, fabrics, or objects that can be safely cleaned with water or other washing agents. For example, a "pesevä" fabric would be one suitable for machine washing or hand washing without damage to its color or structure.

The term can also be used in a more descriptive sense, referring to something that performs the action of washing. For instance, a "pesevä kone" translates to a "washing machine." In this context, "pesevä" acts as a present participle, indicating the function of the machine.

Occasionally, "pesevä" might be used colloquially to describe a person who is diligent about cleaning or washing. However, this is a less formal and less common application of the word. The core meaning remains tied to the act or capability of being washed.
