nööbid

Nööbid is a Finnish term that translates to "buttons" in English. In a colloquial context, it refers to small, often circular, fasteners used to join pieces of fabric. These can be made from a variety of materials including plastic, metal, wood, or shell, and come in many sizes and colors. Nööbid are commonly found on clothing such as shirts, trousers, coats, and dresses. They typically consist of two parts: a front piece and a back piece, which are attached to the fabric. The front piece usually has a hole or a shank for threading the button through a buttonhole or loop. The design and placement of nööbid can be purely functional or serve as decorative elements on a garment. Beyond their practical use in fastening, nööbid can also be used in crafts and decorative projects. The term can also sometimes be used metaphorically to refer to small, insignificant things or details, though this usage is less common than its literal meaning.
