taittumalla

Taittumalla is a Finnish word that translates to "by folding" or "through folding." It describes a process or method where something is achieved or modified by the action of folding. This can apply to a variety of contexts, from physical objects to abstract concepts.

In a physical sense, taittumalla might refer to how a piece of paper becomes a more complex shape, like an origami figure, through a series of folds. It could also describe how fabric is manipulated to create pleats or seams, or how a metal sheet is bent into a specific form. The term emphasizes the transformation that occurs as a direct result of the folding action.

Beyond the tangible, taittumalla can also be used metaphorically. For instance, it might describe how a complex problem is simplified by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable parts, akin to unfolding a complex structure. It can also refer to the way information or a narrative can be revealed or understood through layers, where each fold represents a new piece of understanding. The core idea remains the act of manipulation through bending or creasing to achieve a desired outcome or state.
