Selkeäpiirteinen

Selkeäpiirteinen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "distinctly featured" or "well-defined" in English. It is commonly used to describe a person's facial features, indicating that they are clear, prominent, and easily distinguishable. When applied to a face, selkeäpiirteinen suggests a strong bone structure, perhaps high cheekbones, a well-shaped nose, or a clearly defined jawline. It implies a face that is not soft or indistinct, but rather possesses a certain sharpness or clarity.

The term can also be used in a more figurative sense to describe something that is clearly outlined or easily understood. For example, a plan or an idea might be described as selkeäpiirteinen if its components and objectives are unambiguous. However, its primary and most frequent application remains in describing physical appearance, particularly the face. A person with selkeäpiirteinen features is often perceived as having a striking or memorable appearance. The adjective does not carry any inherent judgment of beauty or attractiveness, but rather focuses on the clarity and distinctness of the features themselves.
