Reisi

Reisi is a term that can refer to different things in various linguistic and cultural contexts. The most established meaning is in Finnish, where reisi denotes the thigh, a part of the leg.

In Finnish usage, reisi is a common noun used to refer to the thigh in everyday language and in anatomical description. It is not a verb and functions as a standard body-part term within sentences.

Outside Finnish contexts, reisi may appear as a proper name or transliteration. It can be found as a surname, given name, or fictional character name in some languages and media, though such uses are not standardized or widely documented. Because it is not tied to a single, globally recognized entity, there is no single agreed-upon definition of reisi beyond its Finnish noun meaning.

Pronunciation typically follows Finnish phonology, approximately "REI-see," with a short first syllable and a clear second syllable. Etymologically, the only well-attested sense of reisi in common usage is the Finnish body-part term; other uses are highly context-dependent and less standardized.
