tasalatuinen

Tasalatuinen is a Finnish word that translates to "even," "level," or "balanced" in English. It can be used in a variety of contexts to describe a state of equilibrium or fairness. For instance, one might describe a balanced diet as a "tasalatuinen ruokavalio" or a fair distribution of resources as "tasalatuinen jako."

The word is formed from the root "tasa," meaning "level" or "equal," and the suffix "-lainen," which denotes belonging or characteristic. Thus, "tasalatuinen" literally implies something that possesses the quality of being level or equal.

In a more abstract sense, "tasalatuinen" can refer to emotional or mental balance. A person who is calm and composed, even in difficult situations, might be described as having a "tasalatuinen mieli" or a balanced mind. The concept extends to situations where fairness and impartiality are paramount, such as in legal proceedings or negotiations. Achieving a "tasalatuinen lopputulos" means reaching an outcome that is equitable for all parties involved. The word emphasizes the absence of significant deviations or imbalances, promoting a sense of stability and justice.
