näyttökuvaa

Näyttökuvaa is the Finnish term for a screenshot. It refers to a digital image that captures whatever is currently displayed on a computer monitor, smartphone screen, or other display device. Taking a näyttökuvaa is a common way to document information, share visual content, or troubleshoot technical issues.

The method for taking a näyttökuvaa varies depending on the operating system and device. On Windows, common shortcuts include the Print Screen key (often labeled "PrtScn" or "Print Scrn") which copies the entire screen to the clipboard, or Windows key + Print Screen to save it as a file. On macOS, Command + Shift + 3 captures the entire screen, while Command + Shift + 4 allows for selecting a specific area. Mobile devices typically use a combination of hardware buttons, such as the power and volume down buttons simultaneously.

Once captured, a näyttökuvaa can be saved as an image file, such as PNG or JPG, or directly pasted into other applications like word processors or image editors. It is a simple yet powerful tool for communication and record-keeping in the digital age. The term itself is a direct translation, with "näyttö" meaning "screen" and "kuvaa" meaning "image" or "picture."
