valollinen

Valollinen is a Finnish adjective that can be translated as "full of light" or "luminous." It is formed from the noun valo (light) with the common adjectival suffix -llinen, which yields meanings akin to "having the quality of" or "characterized by."

In contemporary Finnish, valollinen is rare and mostly confined to literary or descriptive prose. It tends to emphasize the amount or intensity of light in a scene, rather than simply whether something is bright. It can be used both of physical illumination and of metaphorical clarity, radiance, or openness.

Because valollinen is not widely attested in standard dictionaries, its use is considered poetic or experimental. Writers may employ it to evoke a sense of brightness that is pervasive or enveloping, rather than the more common valoisa or kirkas.

See also: valo, valoisa, kirkas, loisto. While valollinen may appear in some poetic or neologistic contexts, it remains a niche term and is not a staple in everyday Finnish vocabulary.
