Tähtimallin

Tähtimallin is a Finnish word form that most commonly appears as the genitive singular of the noun tähtimalli. Depending on context, it can point to several related concepts.

As a grammatical form, tähtimallin indicates possession or association (for example, "tähtimallin tehtävät" — the tasks of the star model). The base noun tähtimalli combines tähti (star) and malli (model), and can be used metaphorically or literally.

In popular culture and fashion, tähtimalli may denote a high-profile or celebrity model, and tähtimallin can be used when referring to something belonging to or associated with such a model (for example, image, career or endorsement). In marketing contexts, the term overlaps with celebrity endorsement and influencer practices.

In scientific contexts, a closely related concept in English is a stellar model — a theoretical representation of a star’s internal structure and evolution. Finnish-language discussions of astrophysics use terms like tähtimalli or tähtien mallit, and tähtimallin might appear when describing properties or parameters of a specific model.

The term can also appear in technical or metaphorical uses (such as in network theory where a "star model" describes a central node with peripheral nodes), adapted into Finnish as tähtimalli. The precise meaning depends on disciplinary context, and the genitive form tähtimallin signals a relationship to or possession by the referenced model.
