taulumuotoisen

Taulumuotoisen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "board-shaped" or "plank-like". It is used to describe objects that have a flat, elongated, and relatively thin form, resembling a board or a plank of wood. This term can be applied in various contexts, from describing natural phenomena to manufactured items.

In geology, taulumuotoisen might describe a tabular intrusion of igneous rock, such as a sill, that has spread horizontally between layers of existing rock. In everyday language, it could refer to a piece of furniture that is board-shaped, like a simple table or shelf. It can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is rigid and unbending, although this is a less common usage. The key characteristic conveyed by taulumuotoisen is its flatness and extension in two dimensions, with a comparatively small dimension in the third. When encountering this adjective, it is helpful to consider the context to understand the specific type of board-like object or quality being described.
