Sulamaton

Sulamaton is a Finnish word that translates to "unmelted" or "undissolved" in English. It is often used to describe something that has not been affected by heat or has not broken down into a liquid or separate components. This can apply to a variety of contexts, from the physical state of matter to more abstract concepts.

In a literal sense, sulamaton can refer to ice that has not melted, snow that remains on the ground, or a solid object that has not undergone a phase transition. For instance, a statement like "jää oli vielä sulamatonta" means "the ice was still unmelted." It can also describe materials that are resistant to melting, such as certain metals or alloys that require very high temperatures to liquefy.

Beyond physical substances, the term can be used metaphorically. Sulamaton can describe an idea, opinion, or feeling that remains firm and unchanged, resistant to external influences or persuasion. For example, someone might express a "sulamaton usko" which translates to "unmelted faith" or "unwavering faith." In this sense, it conveys a sense of steadfastness and immutability. The context in which sulamaton is used is crucial for understanding its precise meaning.
