paneelin

Paneelin is the genitive form of paneeli in Finnish. Paneeli refers to a flat piece of material used as a panel in walls, furniture, or equipment enclosures, and it can also denote a set of controls in a device (a control panel). Paneelin denotes “of the panel” or “the panel’s” in phrases such as paneelin väri (the color of the panel), paneelin asennus (the installation of the panel), or paneelin pinta (the panel surface). It is widely used in architectural drafting, interior design, electronics manufacturing, and related fields.

Paneelin is a singular genitive form; the plural genitive is paneelien. In Finnish, paneeli is a loanword, most likely borrowed from Swedish panel or English panel, with roots in the French panneau. The term is common in technical and trade language, while everyday speech may use paneeli in the nominative and various cases for general reference.

Usage notes: paneelin is typically used after verbs or prepositions that require the genitive, to express possession or a characteristic of the panel. In compound terms, it can appear in descriptions such as paneelin väri, paneelin rakennelma, or paneelin asennustapa. Related terms include paneeli as a general concept and the plural paneelit for multiple panels.
