alhaiskulmainen

Alhaiskulmainen is a Finnish term that translates to "low-angled" or "obtuse-angled" in English. It is most commonly used in geometry to describe an angle that measures greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. In contrast to acute angles, which are less than 90 degrees, and right angles, which are exactly 90 degrees, alhaiskulmainen angles form the characteristic "wide" shape of a corner.

The term can also be applied more broadly to describe situations where something is characterized by a low angle or a gradual slope. For instance, in landscape descriptions, a mountain with alhaiskulmainen slopes would be one that rises gently rather than steeply. In engineering or architecture, a roof with an alhaiskulmainen pitch would have a shallow incline. The specific context dictates whether the geometric or a more general spatial interpretation of "low-angled" is intended. The opposite of alhaiskulmainen in a spatial sense would often be "korkeakulmainen" (high-angled) or "jyrkkä" (steep).
