Hüübima

Hüübima is a Finnish term that translates to "to hum" or "to buzz" in English. It generally refers to a low, continuous, often monotonous sound. The word can be used to describe various sounds, including the sound made by insects like bees, the noise of machinery, or even a person humming a tune. The context in which "hüübima" is used determines the specific meaning. For instance, a bee might hüübima around a flower, or a refrigerator might hüübima in the kitchen.
