tyylisen

Tyylinen is a Finnish adjective meaning stylish or related to style. It describes things that have a distinct style or taste, such as clothing, design, art, or behavior. The word is commonly used to express that something adheres to a certain aesthetic or fashion standard, or that it reflects a particular stylistic approach.

Etymology and related terms: Tyylinen is derived from the noun tyylI, meaning style, which in turn comes from the Swedish stil and related Germanic roots. The related noun tyylI, and the adverb tyylIsti, appear in various fashion, design, and cultural expressions. Common related terms include tyylikäs (tasteful, stylish), muodikkuus (fashionableness), and tyylisuunta (stylistic direction).

Grammar and usage: Tyylinen is an inflecting Finnish adjective. The form tyylisen is the genitive singular form, used when the noun it modifies is in the genitive case, for example tyylisen naisen asu (the outfit of a stylish woman). Other inflected forms align with the noun’s case and number, so tyylinen can appear as tyylinen vaate (a stylish garment), tyylisiä koruja (stylish jewelry, in partitive plural), and so on. In practice, tyylinen frequently appears in descriptions of fashion, interior design, media, and art, as well as in everyday judgments of taste.

See also: tyylikäs, tyylilaji, tyylisuunta, tyylikkyys, tyylittely. While tyylinen emphasizes style and stylistic qualities, tyylikäs stresses tastefulness and elegance, and tyylilaji refers to a particular style or genre.
