Käänetamist

Käänetamist is a Finnish term that generally refers to the act of flipping, inverting, or turning something over. Its precise meaning can vary depending on the context in which it is used.

In a physical sense, käänetamist might describe the action of flipping a pancake in a pan, turning a page in a book, or inverting an object. It implies a change in orientation where the upper part becomes the lower part, or the front becomes the back.

Figuratively, käänetamist can refer to a reversal of fortune, a change in perspective, or a shift in opinion. For instance, a situation could undergo a käänetamist, meaning it has been turned upside down or has taken an unexpected turn. Similarly, someone's viewpoint might experience käänetamist, indicating a significant alteration in their thinking.

The verb form is kääntää, meaning "to turn" or "to translate." Käänetamist is the verbal noun derived from this verb, emphasizing the process or action itself. The specific nuance of "flipping" or "inverting" is often implied rather than explicitly stated, requiring understanding of the surrounding words and situation.
