kevätinen

kevätinen is a Finnish adjective meaning "spring-like" or "of spring." It is derived from the word "kevät," which translates to "spring" in English. The adjective is used to describe things that are characteristic of the spring season, such as weather, nature, or feelings associated with this time of year. For example, one might refer to "kevätinen sää" (spring-like weather), "kevätinen tuoksu" (spring-like scent), or "kevätinen ilo" (spring-like joy).

The adjective can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is new, fresh, or beginning to emerge, much like the natural world in spring. It conveys a sense of renewal, optimism, and awakening. The inflection of the word varies depending on its grammatical function in a sentence, following standard Finnish adjective declension rules. It is a common term in Finnish literature, poetry, and everyday conversation to evoke the specific atmosphere and sensory experiences of the spring season. The adjective’s usage is widespread and understood across Finnish-speaking regions.
