Tippuvia

Tippuvia is a Finnish word that translates to "falling" or "dripping" in English. It is primarily used to describe a physical process of liquid descending or seeping. For example, it can refer to rain falling from the sky (sade tippuu) or water dripping from a leaky faucet (vesi tippuu hanasta). The word can also be used figuratively to describe a decline or decrease in something, though this usage is less common than its literal meaning. In a broader sense, tippuvia can evoke a sense of gentle, continuous movement downwards. It is a common and versatile word in the Finnish language, used in everyday conversation and descriptive contexts. Its meaning is generally straightforward and depends on the surrounding words to clarify the specific instance of falling or dripping.
