Valunut

Valunut is a Finnish word that translates to "melted" or "flowed" in English. It is derived from the Finnish verb "valua," which means to flow, ooze, or drip. The word can be used in various contexts, both literally and figuratively.

Literally, valunut refers to the state of something that has melted due to heat, such as ice or snow. For example, one might say "lumi oli valunut pois" (the snow had melted away). It can also describe liquids that have flowed or dripped, such as paint or water. A sentence like "maali oli valunut seinälle" (the paint had flowed onto the wall) illustrates this usage.

Figuratively, valunut can describe a gradual decline or deterioration. For instance, a person's health might be described as valunut if it has worsened over time. Similarly, a company's financial standing could be said to be valunut if it has declined significantly. It can also be used to describe emotions or feelings that have been released or expressed, such as tears that have valunut down someone's cheeks. The word carries a sense of passive movement or change.
