Stoparvoinen

Stoparvoinen is a Finnish word that literally translates to "ten-valued" or "worth ten." It is most commonly used in the context of value, deservingness, or importance, implying something is highly commendable, excellent, or worthy of great praise. While a literal translation might suggest a numerical rating, in practice, it signifies a superior quality or a high degree of positive regard.

The term is often employed colloquially to express strong approval or admiration. For example, if someone performs an exceptionally good deed or offers a particularly insightful suggestion, they might be described as having done something "stoparvoinen." It can be applied to actions, ideas, people, or even objects, indicating that they are considered outstanding within their category. The emphasis is on the exceptional nature of what is being described, setting it apart from the ordinary.

While not a formal rating system, "stoparvoinen" serves as a strong indicator of positive judgment within Finnish culture. It conveys a sense of being highly esteemed and deserving of recognition, going beyond mere adequacy to reach a level of excellence.
