Heilutellaan

Heilutellaan is a Finnish verb that translates to "let's wave" or "we are waving." It is the first-person plural imperative form of the verb "heilua," which means to wave, swing, or flutter. The verb "heilutellaan" is often used in contexts where people are encouraging each other to wave, such as at a sporting event, a concert, or when saying goodbye. It can also be used more generally to describe a group of people or objects waving. For example, one might say "Lippuja heilutellaan" which means "flags are being waved." The word is relatively common in everyday Finnish conversation and is easily understood by native speakers. Its usage is straightforward and typically implies a collective action of waving. The sound of the word itself, with its repeated "l" sounds, can sometimes evoke a sense of gentle movement, mirroring the action it describes.
