läpinäkyvistä

Läpinäkyvistä is the elative plural inflection of the Finnish adjective läpinäkyvä, meaning transparent, open or clear. The base adjective describes things that can be literally seen through or that are figuratively easy to understand, verify, or audit. The corresponding noun form is läpinävyys, which denotes transparency or openness as a quality or principle.

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case. The ending -istä signals the elative case in plural, so läpinäkyvistä appears with plural nouns in the elative, for example läpinäkyvistä prosesseista (from transparent processes) or läpinäkyvistä tiedoista (from the transparent information). The nominative plural form of the adjective is läpinäkyvät.

Usage and meaning: läpinäkyvä is used in literal contexts, such as materials that let light pass through, and in figurative contexts, such as openness in governance, business, research, and communication. The word emphasizes accessibility and verifiability of information, decisions, or procedures. In policy and media discourse, läpinäkyvyys (transparency) is often discussed as a desirable attribute of institutions and processes; läpinäkyvistä is one of the inflected forms used when referring to multiple transparent elements in the elative.

Translations and related terms: in English, läpinäkyvä translates to “transparent” or “open,” and läpinäkyvyys to “transparency.” Related Finnish terms include avoimuus (openness) and läpinäkyvyys through which the concept of transparency is expressed in public discourse.
