karkeammalle

Karkeammalle is a Finnish word that translates to "for coarser" or "for rougher" in English. It is a comparative form of the adjective karkea, meaning coarse, rough, or crude. The suffix -mmalle indicates the dative case, which in this context suggests a recipient or a purpose. Therefore, "karkeammalle" implies something intended for a surface or material that is already coarse, or for a process that requires a rougher touch or effect.

The word can be used in various contexts. For instance, in woodworking, one might refer to a "karkeammalle hiomapaperille" (for coarser sandpaper) if the initial task is to remove a significant amount of material from a rough surface. In textiles, a fabric might be described as suitable "karkeammalle kudokselle" (for a coarser weave), indicating its durability or texture. It can also describe a more robust or less refined approach to something, such as a "karkeammalle käsiteltäväksi" (to be handled more roughly) if an object is not delicate. The word emphasizes a need for something more substantial or less refined than what would be used for smoother or more delicate materials or situations. It suggests a step up in coarseness or robustness when compared to a standard or finer option.
