muodokkaat

Muodokkaat is a Finnish term that broadly translates to "well-shaped" or "curvaceous" and is often used to describe the human form, particularly a woman's figure. It implies a pleasing and attractive distribution of body mass, often suggesting a figure with noticeable curves rather than a slender or athletic build. The term is generally positive and appreciative, used to compliment a person's physique.

The concept of what constitutes "muodokkaat" can vary depending on cultural perceptions and individual preferences. Historically, in many societies, a fuller, curvier figure was often associated with health, fertility, and prosperity, and this sentiment can still resonate. In contemporary Finland, as elsewhere, beauty standards are diverse, but "muodokkaat" remains a recognized and often admired body type. It's important to note that the term is descriptive and does not imply judgment; it simply refers to a certain aesthetic quality of the body's shape. The usage of the word is generally informal and conversational.
