läpikuultavista

läpikuultavista is a Finnish adjective meaning translucent or see-through. It describes a material or object that allows light to pass through but does not permit clear vision of what is on the other side. This is distinct from transparent, which allows for clear visibility, and opaque, which blocks light entirely.

The degree of translucency can vary greatly. Some materials are only slightly läpikuultavista, while others are almost clear. Examples of läpikuultavista materials include frosted glass, thin paper, some plastics, and certain types of fabric. In nature, materials like the wings of some insects or certain semi-precious stones can exhibit translucency.

The property of being läpikuultavista is utilized in various applications. Frosted glass is often used in windows and shower doors to provide privacy while still allowing light to enter. Thin paper can be used for tracing or for creating decorative effects. In art and design, läpikuultavista materials can be employed to create layers of visual interest and to manipulate the passage of light. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is partially revealed or understood, though not fully.
