suurinopeuksinen

The term "suurinopeuksinen" is a Finnish adjective that translates directly to "big-thumbed" or "large-thumbed." It is used to describe a person or animal possessing unusually large thumbs in relation to their other fingers or digits. While not a formal scientific term, it is used colloquially in Finnish.

The size and shape of thumbs can vary significantly among individuals due to genetics and other factors. In some contexts, having large thumbs might be associated with certain physical characteristics or even perceived as an advantage for specific tasks requiring grip strength or dexterity, though this is not a universally recognized or scientifically proven correlation.

The adjective "suurinopeuksinen" can be used in a descriptive manner without any inherent positive or negative connotation. It simply highlights a notable physical attribute. For example, one might describe a child with large thumbs as "suurinopeuksinen" or a primate species known for its prominent thumbs could be referred to as such.
