päänosasta

Päänosasta is a Finnish term that translates to "main role" or "leading part" in English. It is commonly used in the context of theatre, film, television, and sometimes in literature when referring to the most important character in a story or production. The päänosasta is typically the character around whom the plot revolves, and whose journey or development is central to the narrative. Actors who portray a päänosasta are often considered the stars of the production and receive significant attention for their performances. The term implies a significant level of responsibility for the actor, as their portrayal heavily influences the audience's perception and engagement with the work. The success of a production can often be linked to the effectiveness of the actor in fulfilling the päänosasta.
