Läpivitti

Läpivitti is a Finnish term that can refer to two related concepts. Primarily, it describes the act of a bullet or projectile passing completely through a target, leaving an exit wound. This is often used in contexts discussing ballistics, firearms, and the effects of ammunition. The term emphasizes the complete penetration of the object.

In a more figurative sense, läpivitti can be used colloquially to describe something that has been thoroughly understood, solved, or overcome. It implies a complete grasp or mastery of a situation, problem, or concept. For example, someone might say they have "läpivitti" a difficult task if they have successfully completed it. This usage draws a parallel between the decisive passage of a bullet and the decisive resolution of a challenge. The core idea in both meanings is a complete passage or resolution.
