läpikuultavamman

läpikuultavamman is the comparative form of the Finnish adjective läpikuultava, which translates to "translucent" or "semi-transparent" in English. The suffix "-mpi" indicates the comparative degree, meaning "more translucent" or "more semi-transparent." The ending "-n" further modifies it, often indicating a genitive or accusative case depending on the grammatical context within a sentence.

In essence, when something is described as läpikuultavampi, it possesses a greater degree of translucency than something else. This means that light can pass through it, but objects on the other side are not seen clearly, appearing blurred or indistinct. For example, if comparing two pieces of frosted glass, one might be described as läpikuultavampi if it allows more light to pass through, or if the shapes behind it are slightly more discernible.

The term is commonly used in descriptions of materials like certain types of plastics, fabrics, thin papers, or even in describing certain natural phenomena. The degree of translucency can be subjective, and the comparative form allows for nuanced distinctions between different levels of transparency. It’s a useful descriptor when a precise level of light transmission is being discussed or observed.
