/ˈhie̯no/, [ˈhie̞̯no̞]
AlkuperäFrom Proto-Finnic *hëëno. Cognates include Karelian hieno and Veps hen, as well as probably Estonian hõõnukene.
The semantic shift from "fine, slender, fine-grained" to "fine, refined, elegant" is common across European languages and probably represents foreign influence in Finnish.
- fine (particularly slender; especially thin, narrow, or of small girth)
- fine (consisting of especially minute particulate; made up of particularly small pieces)
“Hienoa tomua nostaen ajoi henkilöauto hitaasti ohi ja Asta näki sisällä valkoisen pöyhkeän pilven.” — Raising a fine dust, the passage car drove slowly by and Asta saw inside a cocky yellow cloud.
- good-looking, fine
- fine (of superior quality); select; elegant, fancy, posh
- great, wonderful
“hieno saavutus” — great achievement
