Siivittävät

Siivittävät is a Finnish verb that translates to "to give wings to" or "to inspire" in English. It is often used in a figurative sense to describe something that encourages growth, creativity, or progress. For example, a teacher might say that a particular book siivitti their imagination, meaning it inspired them and made them think in new ways. Similarly, a supportive environment could be described as siivittävä, implying it helps people to develop and achieve their potential. The word itself is derived from "siipi," which means "wing." Therefore, the literal meaning of "siivittää" is to provide wings, which then extends to the metaphorical idea of enabling someone or something to soar or reach new heights.

The feeling of being siivitetty often implies a sense of freedom and possibility.
