Törmättävä

Törmättävä is a Finnish word that translates to "to crash into," "to collide with," or "to run into" in English. It describes an action where two or more objects, or a person and an object, come into forceful contact. The term can be used in both literal and figurative senses.

Literally, törmättävä can refer to physical impacts, such as a car crashing into a wall or a person tripping and colliding with a table. It implies an unplanned and often sudden event. The intensity of the collision can vary, but the word generally suggests a significant impact.

Figuratively, törmättävä can describe encountering difficulties, obstacles, or unexpected problems. For example, a business might törmätä financial difficulties, or a person might törmätä resistance to their ideas. In this context, it signifies facing something challenging or unpleasant. The word can also be used to describe meeting someone unexpectedly, similar to the English phrase "run into."
