raapaleet

Raapaleet is a Finnish term that translates to "scratches" or "scrapes." In a general sense, it refers to marks or indentations left on a surface by something sharp or rough. This can apply to various materials, including wood, metal, plastic, or even skin. The depth and appearance of raapaleet depend on the force applied and the nature of the object causing the damage.

In a more specialized context, raapaleet can refer to the marks left by an animal's claws, such as a cat scratching furniture. It can also describe the aesthetic imperfections on a manufactured item that have occurred during production or handling. The term is commonly used in everyday Finnish conversation to describe minor physical damage.
