esimerkkilähes

Esimerkkilähes is a Finnish word that translates to "example near" or "almost an example." It is a compound word formed from "esimerkki" meaning "example" and "lähes" meaning "almost" or "nearly." The term is often used in contexts where something is presented as a good illustration or representation of a concept, but it might have slight deviations or limitations that prevent it from being a perfect or definitive example.

The usage of "esimerkkilähes" implies a situation where a particular instance serves as a very close approximation or a strong indicator of a broader idea or phenomenon. However, the speaker or writer acknowledges that it is not a flawless representation. This could be due to minor differences, exceptions, or specific circumstances that apply to the example but not universally to the concept it illustrates.

For instance, one might refer to a specific historical event as "esimerkkilähes" the typical outcome of a certain type of political movement. This suggests the event closely resembles the usual results, but perhaps with a few unique elements that set it apart from being a textbook case. The phrase allows for nuance, indicating that while the example is highly relevant and informative, it should be considered with a degree of caution or understanding of its specific context. It is a way to provide a useful illustration without oversimplifying or misrepresenting the complexity of the subject matter.
