valaisemalla

Valaisemalla is a Finnish term that translates to "by illuminating" or "through lighting." It describes the act or process of making something visible or understandable by applying light, whether literally or figuratively. In a literal sense, it refers to the physical act of turning on lights, using lamps, or any method that introduces illumination to a space. This can range from simple household lighting to complex theatrical or architectural lighting designs. The purpose is often to increase visibility, create ambiance, or highlight specific features.

Figuratively, valaisemalla can mean to explain, clarify, or shed light on a subject. When a concept or situation is "valaisemalla," it means it has been made clearer or more understandable through explanation, evidence, or insight. This metaphorical use emphasizes the idea of bringing something out of darkness or obscurity into the realm of comprehension. For instance, new research might valaisemalla a complex scientific phenomenon, or a personal testimony could valaisemalla a historical event. The core idea is the transition from a state of not knowing or seeing to one of knowing or seeing.
