Tasmentämään

Tasmentämään is a Finnish verb that translates to "to level," "to smooth," or "to flatten" in English. It is often used in a literal sense to describe the physical act of making a surface even and free from irregularities. For example, one might tasmentää the ground before laying a foundation, or tasmentää a cake frosting to create a smooth finish.

Beyond its literal meaning, tasmentämään can also be used figuratively. In this context, it refers to the process of making something more uniform, consistent, or less extreme. This could involve tasmentämään differences between individuals or groups, or tasmentämään a budget to ensure it is balanced. It can also imply bringing something to a more acceptable or manageable state. The verb can be conjugated in various tenses and moods to reflect different aspects of this action. For instance, "tasennetaan" would mean "let's level" or "it is leveled." The infinitive form, tasmentämään, is the base form of the verb.
