Refrääni

Refrääni is a Finnish term that translates to "chorus" in English, referring to a recurring section of a song. It is a fundamental element in many musical compositions, serving to provide a memorable and often climactic point. The refrääni typically contains the song's main musical and lyrical themes, making it easily recognizable and singable by listeners. Its repetition helps to reinforce the song's message and emotional core, contributing significantly to its overall structure and impact. In popular music, the refrääni is often the most anticipated part of a song, used to create a sense of familiarity and engagement. The term is also sometimes used metaphorically in Finnish to describe a recurring theme or idea in other contexts, such as in literature or political discourse, though its primary meaning remains rooted in music. The concept of a recurring refrain is universal in music, and the Finnish word refrääni specifically denotes this musical device within the Finnish language.
