leveyydet

Leveys, in Finnish, denotes the dimension known in English as width or breadth. Leveyydet is the plural form, used when referring to multiple widths or a set of width measurements. The term appears mainly in technical, architectural, design, and manufacturing contexts, as well as in everyday descriptions of objects and spaces.

In general use, leveys describes the distance between opposite sides of an object, typically measured in units such as meters or centimeters. It is one of the principal spatial dimensions, alongside pituus (length) and korkeus or syvyys (height or depth). The plural leveyydet is common when comparing several objects, listing different width sizes, or enforcing specifications in catalogs and technical drawings.

Applications of leveyydet include furniture and textiles (for example, the width of a table, a curtain, or a fabric roll), architecture and construction (room widths, corridor or beam widths), and product design (various width options in a catalog). In transportation and infrastructure, road widths, railcar widths, and other engineered clearances may be described using leveyydet to communicate acceptable tolerances and sizing.

In measurements, leveys is typically given in precise units, and leveyydet may appear in product specifications, blueprints, and quality control documents to indicate acceptable ranges or standard sizes. The concept is closely related to other dimensional terms in Finnish, such as pituus (length) and korkeus (height), and is used across disciplines wherever horizontal dimension information is relevant.
