Tausku

Tausku is a Finnish term that primarily refers to a wave or ripple on the surface of water. It describes the disturbance caused by wind, rain, or the movement of an object through the water. The word can also be used metaphorically to describe a fleeting emotion or a transient disturbance in a situation. In some contexts, particularly in older or dialectal Finnish, tausku might also refer to a small wave or surge in a river or stream. The visual imagery associated with tausku is one of gentle, undulating movement across the water's surface. It is a common word in everyday Finnish, used to describe natural phenomena and sometimes abstract concepts.
