lämpöisä

lämpöisä is a Finnish adjective derived from the noun lämpö, meaning "heat" or "warmth". It is commonly used to describe something that is slightly warm, comfortably warm, or pleasantly warm. The suffix -isä often indicates a tendency or a moderate degree of the quality.

The word lämpöisä can be applied to a variety of contexts. For instance, it might describe the temperature of a beverage, such as a "lämpöisä tee" (warm tea), or the feeling of a room, "huone oli lämpöisä" (the room was warm). It can also refer to the sensation of the weather, like a "lämpöisä kesäpäivä" (a warm summer day). In a more abstract sense, lämpöisä can describe a feeling of comfort, affection, or kindness. A person might be described as having a "lämpöisä hymy" (a warm smile), or a gesture could be considered "lämpöisä" if it conveys warmth and good will.

While often translated simply as "warm," lämpöisä typically implies a gentler or more moderate warmth than the word "kuuma," which signifies hot. It conveys a sense of coziness and well-being, distinguishing it from intense heat. The term is a common part of everyday Finnish vocabulary, expressing a pleasant and inviting temperature or emotional state.
