Pysähtyisi

Pysähtyisi is the conditional form of the Finnish verb pysähtyä. The verb pysähtyä means "to stop," "to halt," or "to pause." The conditional mood in Finnish expresses hypothetical situations, possibilities, or wishes. Therefore, pysähtyisi literally translates to "would stop," "would halt," or "would pause."
