Kyllänt

Kyllänt is a term used in some Finnish dialects, particularly in Ostrobothnia, to describe a state of being overfed or having eaten too much. It is derived from the verb "kyllästyä," which means to get tired of or become bored with, but in this context, it takes on a more literal meaning related to satiety. The word implies a feeling of fullness that has crossed the boundary into discomfort or even slight nausea due to excessive consumption of food. It is not typically used in standard Finnish but is understood by speakers familiar with regional variations. The sensation of kyllänt might be experienced after a large meal, especially during festive occasions or when indulging in rich foods. It can also be used humorously to describe a situation where one has eaten more than intended or is unable to eat any more. The opposite of kyllänt would be feeling hungry or having an appetite. The concept highlights the nuances of expressing physical sensations and states of being within different linguistic registers.
