Lpistä

lpistä is a Finnish term that generally translates to "to feel cold" or "to shiver." It describes the sensation of experiencing coldness, often involuntarily. This can be a mild chill or a more pronounced shivering due to low temperatures. The word is commonly used in everyday conversation in Finland to describe the physical reaction to cold weather.

The feeling of lpistä can be triggered by various factors. Exposure to a cold environment is the most direct cause, but it can also occur when one is wet, tired, or experiencing illness. In some contexts, lpistä can also be used metaphorically to describe a feeling of unease or fear, similar to how "a shiver went down my spine" might be used in English. However, its primary and most frequent meaning relates to the physical sensation of cold. The verb form "lpistää" means to make someone feel cold or to chill something.
