pöytäkokoinen

Pöytäkokoinen is a Finnish adjective that literally translates to "table-sized." It is used to describe something that is large enough to fit on a table, or more commonly, to describe something that is the size of a table. The term can be applied to a variety of objects or concepts that are of a considerable size, often implying a certain scale or presence.

The adjective is frequently used in everyday conversation in Finland. For example, one might describe a large painting as pöytäkokoinen, or a substantial piece of furniture. It can also be used metaphorically to describe abstract things that are significant in scope or importance, though this is less common than its literal application to physical size. The context in which pöytäkokoinen is used is crucial for understanding its precise meaning.

The concept of "table-sized" emphasizes a relative scale. What is considered pöytäkokoinen can vary depending on the specific table being referenced and the items typically placed upon it. However, the general understanding is of something substantial, requiring a significant surface area or occupying a considerable volume. It conveys a sense of largeness without necessarily implying enormousness; rather, it suggests a size that is notable and fitting for a large surface.
