läpireikäinen

läpireikäinen is a Finnish adjective that literally translates to "through-holed" or "perforated." It describes something that has a hole or holes that go all the way through it. The term can be applied to a variety of objects and situations.

In a physical context, läpireikäinen might describe a piece of fabric that has been torn through, a pipe with a leak, or a button with holes for sewing. It implies a complete passage from one side to another. The word is not limited to inanimate objects. For example, a person could metaphorically be described as läpireikäinen if they are particularly careless and prone to creating such openings, or if their possessions are consistently in such a state.

The term can also be used in more abstract or figurative ways. It might refer to a plan that has serious flaws or "holes" in its logic, making it ineffective. In this sense, it suggests a lack of completeness or integrity. The underlying concept is that of something being penetrated or breached, rendering it less solid or secure. It is a descriptive word that emphasizes the presence of a complete passage through an object or idea.
