puolikokoista

Puolikokoinen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "half-sized" or "medium-sized" in English. It is used to describe objects, clothing, or portions that are not full-sized but also not miniature. The term implies a size that is between the standard or complete size and a smaller, more compact version.

In the context of clothing, puolikokoinen might refer to garments that are designed for individuals who fall between standard adult sizes or for children who have outgrown smaller sizes but are not yet ready for adult sizes. It can also denote a specific cut or style that is less voluminous than its full-sized counterpart.

When applied to food or portions, puolikokoinen indicates a serving that is less than a standard full portion. This could be relevant in restaurants offering different sizes of meals or in recipes calling for half the amount of an ingredient compared to a full recipe.

The word is formed by combining "puoli" (half) and "kokoinen" (sized), creating a descriptive term that clearly conveys its meaning of being approximately half the size of something considered standard or full. It is a common and easily understood adjective in everyday Finnish conversation.
