Todenperäinen

Todenperäinen is a Finnish word that translates to "true," "real," "authentic," or "factual" in English. It is commonly used to describe something that is based on reality, has a basis in fact, or is genuine. The word can be applied to statements, events, descriptions, or even individuals. For example, a "todenperäinen kertomus" would be a true story, and "todenperäinen tieto" would be factual information. The opposite of todenperäinen would be "epätodenperäinen," meaning untrue, false, or fabricated. The word emphasizes the quality of being grounded in truth and not a product of imagination or deception. It is a fundamental adjective in the Finnish language for distinguishing between what is real and what is not.
