kehystä

Kehystä is a Finnish word with two main grammatical uses: it is the partitive singular form of the noun kehys and it is the verb kehystää in its base sense. The meaning depends on the syntactic role.

As a noun, kehys means frame, border, or contextual framework. Concrete frames for pictures, mirrors, or windows are described as kehys, and in a broader sense kehys can denote the framework or context within which something is considered, such as a project kehys or a legislative kehys. The noun is common in architecture, art, design, media, and policy discourse.

As a verb, kehystää means to place a frame around something (to frame a picture) or to present or situate something within a particular frame or context. The verb is used in visual arts, film, photography, design, and rhetorical or policy discussions to describe how materials are framed or contextualized.

Kehystä also appears in compounds and expressions related to framing and structure, and is part of everyday Finnish vocabulary in both physical and figurative senses. The term is closely related to kehys and to related concepts such as kehystys (framing) and kehysrakenteet (frame structures) in specialized domains.
