Täytöt

Täytöt is a Finnish noun form associated with the concept of filling or content that occupies space inside something. The base word täyte means a filling, stuffing, or content that completes or fills a container, space, or dish. The standard plural form in ordinary Finnish is täytteet, while täytöt is a less common or dialectal variant that may appear in some texts or compound expressions.

In culinary use, täyte refers to the mixture used to fill pastries, pies, dumplings, or other stuffed foods. A täyte can be savory, such as minced meat with vegetables, cheese, or mushrooms, or sweet, like fruit preserves, custard, or cream. The term covers both the preparation of the filling and the finished stuffed dish.

In dentistry and related fields, täyte describes a filling material used to seal a cavity or restore a tooth. Common materials include composite resin, amalgam, and glass ionomer cement. In standard medical or dental Finnish, plural fillings are usually referred to as täytteet.

Beyond food and dental contexts, täyte can denote the content inside an object, package, or text, for example the contents of a bag or the material that fills a template or document.

Etymology: derived from the verb täyttää, meaning to fill or to stuff, with täyte as the resulting content. See also täytteet, täyttö, and related terms.
