nelio

Nelio is a term with several possible uses, depending on linguistic and cultural context. In Finnish, nelio is sometimes encountered as a historical or dialectal word for a four-sided geometric figure. In modern standard Finnish, however, the common terms for a four-sided polygon are nelikulmio (quadrilateral) and neliö (square), with nelio being relatively rare or obsolete outside older texts.

Geometrically, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four edges. The interior angles of a simple quadrilateral sum to 360 degrees, and such figures can be classified in various ways, including convex versus concave, or by special properties such as being a rectangle, square, rhombus, parallelogram, or trapezoid. The term nelio, when used, does not by itself specify any of these subtypes; additional descriptors would be needed to convey specific shape properties.

Aside from its geometric usage, nelio can appear as a proper noun in different contexts. It may function as a surname, given name, or brand name in various languages and regions. In such uses, the meaning of nelio is not tied to geometry and is determined by the particular naming or branding choice rather than a mathematical definition.
