viivoitettua

viivoitettua is a Finnish word that translates to "lined" or "ruled" in English. It is primarily used as an adjective to describe paper or notebooks that have horizontal lines printed on them. These lines serve as guides for writing, helping to keep text neat and uniform.

The term viivoitettua can be applied to various types of stationery. For example, viivoitettua paperia refers to lined paper, commonly found in notebooks, notepads, and loose-leaf binders. Viivoitettua vihkoa means a lined notebook. The spacing between the lines can vary, offering options for different writing styles and purposes. Narrower rulings are often preferred for younger children learning to write, while wider rulings might be more suitable for adults.

Beyond its literal meaning related to paper, viivoitettua can sometimes be used metaphorically. In certain contexts, it might imply something that is structured, organized, or clearly demarcated. However, its most frequent and direct application remains in the realm of stationery and writing materials, indicating the presence of lines for the purpose of writing. The opposite of viivoitettua would be tyhjä (empty) or ruudullinen (squared/gridded).
