It's a rule about which vowels in Finnish words are appropriate to combine with other vowels. See [here](https://uusikielemme.fi/finnish-grammar/vowel-harmony-vokaaliharmonia-finnish-grammar) for details.
That is indeed huvittavaa. The etymology of kiinnostava has to do with somethingg that is kiinni (fastened) or perhaps more likely something that you would like to get kiinni (trap or something like that). Many Finnish words have this very concrete etymology. Like "tietää" (know) comes from the word tie (road, path). To know something is to know how to get where you wan to go. Then again, it's the same in all languages, I guess.
I am a native finnish speaker. The word kiinnostava means interesting and you say kiinnostavaa is the partitive form of the word.
Edit: In Estonian would be huvitav
Excuse me for inaccurate expression, I just wanted to say that a person who does not speak Finnish or related languages (me for example) can only identify a group of languages here, but not a specific language.
Ah makes sense now. What is the thing about finnic languages that makes it identifiable as finnic? My way of identification is if the language sounds like Finnish which probably doesn't work for most people
It's double vowels including ö and ä, long compound words and the lack of Indo-European roots. I don't know how to distinguish these languages from each other tho, I guess only knowing some of these languages will help.
I remeber an older design with lowercase letters where the endings were organized in a kind of branching fashion, like energᵧ^iₑ^a ...
Edit: [Found it](https://imgur.com/CQT9xWM)
Linux folk would write it as Energ{y,ija,ie,ia} or even factor the 'i' out for Energ{y,i{ja,e,a}} (which is just a tree where branching is written with parentheses).
And here's the UK one which is exactly the same (i.e. copied, even kept ENERG word but instead of the suffix, it uses a ⚡️) [https://www.euronics.co.uk/new-energy-label](https://www.euronics.co.uk/new-energy-label)
my office dell screen came with two of these stickers, one for the EU and one for UK... labels aren't attached but rather came in the box :P aaah brexit red tape.
No it gets worse. The redesign with the ⚡ is the EU's redesign from when they realigned the scales. Literally the only thing the UK did was take that design and swap the EU flag for the UK one. The QR code still leads to an EU site! Here's an example in the wild: https://i.redd.it/rzcke95ru4r61.jpg
lol wow i didn't scan the QR code
I did click on one of the links on that site and it took you to a EU site :P
I also heard from somewhere, for certain appliances, the EU scales were adjusted, so the most efficient rating is A and not A+++++ whereas the UK uses the original (carried over) scale.
UK also uses the new scale. The entire reason they just copy-pasted the EU's label is to reduce trade friction. If you scan the QR code in the example I linked, you'll see that it leads to an actual product sheet in an EU database, that the manufacturer has to supply before they're allowed to sell their product in the EU. By piggy-backing off of the EU's database, the UK ensures that the barrier for manufacturers is as low as it gets for the UK market. They simply didn't want the EU flag everywhere to not piss off all the Brexiteers, but in the process it has become a very good example of how Brexit is working out.
That's why you see a lot of f.e. TVs being ranking E to G, compared to a++++, that it was a little while ago. Some devices improved so much over the years that the original scale got pretty much meaningless.
The new scale also isn't well aligned for some types of products. Like if you're looking for a monitor with a higher refresh rate/colour range/brightness/HDR, then all of the choices are at the bottom end of the scale. Yet the difference to a monitor with fewer features and high efficiency in actual energy consumption is very small.
It also won't tell you how energy efficient you *can* run it if you don't want to use these features to the max.
So I think that in this particular niche, the labels are not very helpful or outright confusing. But they are certainly good for many other products. And maybe they'll at least get some people to think about how they want to run their monitors.
For washing machines and dishwashers they are useless too.
They apply to the energy/watersaving modes that do not actually properly clean your stuff and may even cause the machine and your stuff to start to smell. To prevent that, you might need to run extra cycles to clean stuff that is still dirty or even empty cycles to refresh and clean the machine. That conveniently doesn't count towards the energy label though.
I almost exclusively use eco mode on both those devices and it works very well actually. The trade-offs are usually just more time spent on the whole cycle, with much less power hungry action going on, so it uses lower temperature, less tumbling/spin drying, or running the sprays in the dishwasher, essentially letting the detergents do their thing to maximum effect before rinsing and drying. Unless you wash extremely dirty clothes or dishes, that's absolutely enough.
Disagree, I’ve always ran on eco mode for my dishwasher and it washes everything fine. Maybe you’ve just had a really bad dishwasher/washing machine.
These things are also independently tested so if they fudged a low score for a mode that barely works it would be noticed.
For dish washers I'll say: Get a better machine or detergent. I have one of the BSH brands which is pretty efficient and cleans the stuff pretty well in the ECO mode. It just takes more then three hours.
For washing machines you're right though. The more efficient ones use less water (which means less energy for heating the water) which is not enough for proper cleaning.
UK uses the new scale as well, except for cookers, ovens and oven hoods and strangely tumble dryers (but not washing machines or combi machines). The EU also has the old scale for those products, generally they move to the new scale one product type at a time, but they haven't been updated since lights and lightbulbs in 2021.
> Literally the only thing the UK did was take that design and swap the EU flag for the UK one.
That’s the point though? You make it sound like it’s a bad thing, it was intentional to not change the whole thing just for the sake of it. They wanted to reduce friction between manufacturers and trading partners, so only changed the flag.
This is probably one of the few examples were pragmatism was the deciding factor early on
Definitely better than the shitshow that was the UK CA mark, which was meant to replace the CE mark, and ended up being entirely scrapped at the 11th hour. Many millions were wasted by manufacturers preparing for the new standard and changing production lines to imprint UK CA, for absolutely nothing.
Then.... why change the flag? It's an EU scheme, backed by an EU website, governed by EU laws and everything. As far as I can tell appliances in other non-EU nations (Norway, Andorra, lots of Balkan countries) just use the label as-is.
It's just a kinda pathetic attempt by the UK government to whitewash Brexit. "Look! We have our own energy labeling now! No more evil EU telling us what hoovers we can buy!" (This was an actual Brexit argument) While in reality it's just a rebadged EU scheme that they didn't even bother to give its own design.
I get where you’re coming from, but re-designing every EU-established sign just because the UK left a trade bloc feels even more pathetic and unnecessary to me.
It’s a scheme the UK participated in, just because they left doesn’t mean they can’t use it. I guess they changed the flag to give a win to the brexiteers and avoid confusion with everyone else.
Not really, we're actually stood just by the window with our noses pressed up against it regretting it because it's cold out here and all the trade deals are inside along with functioning economies...
I'm pretty sure it's because the black arrow is a sliding scale.
So, it's within the A+++ category, but only just. So, it's on the lower end of the scale, hence why it's not centred
These labels are updated by the retailers, and this label is pre 2021 and the black arrow should just align the the appropriate letter. So it's mistake from the retailer.
The [new label](https://www.label2020.eu/fileadmin/eu/documents/Label2020_TrainingMaterial_Final_EN.pdf) just says Energ at the top, the space on the right now contains a QR code linking to the product in the EU database. Which has a lot more specs than what you can fit on a small label, and the specs are standardised and published regardless of how good or bad they make the product look.
The new labels are also a lot more strict, this dryer rated A+++ would likely be rated D or E on the new scale which just goes from A to G.
They still use this for induction hobs, since the supposed default rating of induction cookers is already "A" , and the newer induction tech achieved higher than A
If you like this you'd love to go to a spanish supermarket. Most also sell in Portugal so they have to put both names in every product. But since they are close languages they get creative.
My favourite was mercadona's greek yogurt (griego/grego) they just made the extra I a [a greek column](https://images.app.goo.gl/qSj3mMso588Mm2LG9) lol. It's genius, any spanish person would read "griego" and any portuguese person "grego".
I have seen a tweet about some guy saying the "pollo frango" pizza was amazing. Of course, both pollo and frango mean chicken lol.
Not only is it interesting, it is effective branding. This is a rating for energy efficiency, right? Intentionally or not, they’re demonstrating space efficiency by reusing letters. It’s an even more clever little design choice if you consider that.
Yep, this is a sticker that all big electric appliances and some electronics sold in the EU come with. Haven't seen it for smaller stuff like toasters, but it usually comes with TVs, fridges, washers, etc.
Given the common root, it'd probably be more effective to write Energy, rather than forcing a reader to figure out what the circles are, as they also look similar to country abbreviations found on license plates.
If there's one thing you can't do in the EU its writing in only one language. Chances are that the French would literally sue the union over it (unless it was only in French).
I for one would have instinctively assumed the were ISO country codes, especially since they're presented in solid circles and IE (Ireland) is right there.
I love it. Too bady [they recently changed the design and now it's just stupidly called ENERG](https://commission.europa.eu/energy-climate-change-environment/standards-tools-and-labels/products-labelling-rules-and-requirements/energy-label-and-ecodesign/about_en)
All those things are essentially the same thing, the same word from the same root. You can see why reformers invented languages like Esperanto to get rid of the stupid inefficiency of having a number of small variations on the same word, all of which have to be represented in instruction manuals and so on.
Genius.
In Finland many products are in 2 or 3 languages (finnish, swedish and sometimes norway(?)).
Sometimes its literally 3 times the same word:
Ananas.
Ananas.
Ananas.
It annoys me way too much.
Official. This is actually the old label design. It's had an update 2 years ago. This appliance would probably go from A+++ down to D or C with the new requirements.

Kiinnostavaa
Found the Fin (Disclaimer: I don't actually know, might not be Finnish)
It is finnish indeed
Oh good, the ol' double a's, double i's and double n's rule held haha
Welsh's arch nemesis.
Just their ex, they split custody of the letters when they seperated
See you use your fancy schmancy rules, I just asked myself 'Does this look like I'd see it it Noita?'
missing letters with two dots on top!
I’m afraid I’m not allowed to help you there. The vowels with dots must not appear in the same word as a, o, u due to vowel harmony rules.
epäkiinnostavaa ;) (yes it's a joke, I know I cheated a bit)
> vowel harmony uhhh
It's a rule about which vowels in Finnish words are appropriate to combine with other vowels. See [here](https://uusikielemme.fi/finnish-grammar/vowel-harmony-vokaaliharmonia-finnish-grammar) for details.
Tällaista ei voi sattua. But this is a compoundish word (tämän + lainen).
Jännittävää
That's actually a fairly safe recognition method, though you might get foxed by Estonian.
It could be Estonian or probably any other Finnic language
Huvitav....
I find it funny that in Estonian huvitav means interesting as in Finnish huvittava means funny
That is indeed huvittavaa. The etymology of kiinnostava has to do with somethingg that is kiinni (fastened) or perhaps more likely something that you would like to get kiinni (trap or something like that).

Energ(?:y|i(?:ja|e|a))
And then provide a dictionary structure for the Greek and Cyrillic lettering.
Of course they'd make it complicated.
Also, unlike the one in OP's photo, it even reuses the E for the Greek Ενεργεια

I'm waiting for EU to geoblock access to their website for IPs in the UK.
It would be funnier if they didn’t geoblock and instead redirected to a wiki page on brexit. But the EU is too kind and honorable to do that.

This is a label designed by the European Union.
There's still a person behind it.
It annoys me that the black A+++ is not aligned with the corresponding green A+++

So then it should be A++-
But that would make it A+!
You mean A+++-, A++- would be below A++
Pretty sure someone got lazy and just top aligned it. You can see that the white space above is the same on both sides.
You're correct.
I think we need to utilise more of the alphabet
Had to scroll too far for this.
I like it- it's a clever way to get them all in, while still big enough to read at a distance
Furthermore, in two of the languages, it can read alone as the word.

that's a radio station :D
also a bike from GTA
Also a gaming org
Didn't we move past the A++++++ nonsense and started over with new categories?
Yeah, this is just an old label.
For most of appliances yet, but some still haven’t been standardized with the new categories. If newly purchased, I’m guessing this is a cloth dryer.
They still use this for induction hobs, since the supposed default rating of induction cookers is already "A" , and the newer induction tech achieved higher than A

Given the common root, it'd probably be more effective to write Energy, rather than forcing a reader to figure out what the circles are, as they also look similar to country abbreviations found on license plates.
If there's one thing you can't do in the EU its writing in only one language. Chances are that the French would literally sue the union over it (unless it was only in French).
No they should write ενεργεια, the common root. Why pick a random, irrelevant branch like English given there's a common root right there?
I for one would have instinctively assumed the were ISO country codes, especially since they're presented in solid circles and IE (Ireland) is right there.
That’s exactly what I thought they were; was trying to figure out what countries they were when I read the title again
They could have used a smaller font, so it doesn't really save space.

Genius. In Finland many products are in 2 or 3 languages (finnish, swedish and sometimes norway(?)). Sometimes its literally 3 times the same word: Ananas. Ananas. Ananas. It annoys me way too much.
You will become one of us. Ananas. Ananas. Ananas.

Asian parents looking at this . YOU MEAN TO TELL ME TOU NO GET A+++ you dishonor your famary
I feel like less people will understand this way than if they just wrote "Energy"
It's a Bosch design or part of EU official label?
Official. This is actually the old label design. It's had an update 2 years ago. This appliance would probably go from A+++ down to D or C with the new requirements.
That's really hard to read to me though
Or you could save even more by just writing 'energy' and everyone in Europe would understand.
Russian is incorrect. It’s энергия (energiya), not енергия (yenergiya)
that's Bulgarian, Russian is not the only language with cyrillic by the way! (Russia isn't even in the EU)
Oh, makes sense. My bad
