ééndimensionaal

ééndimensionaal is a Dutch adjective that translates to "one-dimensional" in English. It describes something that possesses only one dimension, typically length. In mathematics and physics, a one-dimensional object is often idealized as a line or a curve, which has no width or height. Objects in the real world that can be approximated as one-dimensional include a very thin string, a perfectly straight and infinitely long wire, or the path of a particle moving in a straight line. The concept is fundamental in geometry and calculus when dealing with lines and curves.

In a more abstract or metaphorical sense, "ééndimensionaal" can refer to a situation, concept, or person that is limited in scope, perspective, or complexity. For instance, a debate might be considered ééndimensionaal if it only focuses on a single aspect of an issue, ignoring all other relevant factors. Similarly, a character in a story could be described as ééndimensionaal if they lack depth, presenting only one dominant trait or motivation. This usage implies a lack of richness, nuance, or multifaceted understanding.
