Vierivä

Vierivä is a Finnish word that translates to "rolling" or "tumbling" in English. It describes the motion of something that moves along a surface by turning over and over. This can apply to various objects, such as a ball rolling down a hill, a log tumbling down a slope, or even a person rolling intentionally. The verb form is vieriä.

The concept of vierivä is often used metaphorically. For example, one might speak of "time rolling on" or "thoughts tumbling in one's mind." In a more literal sense, it can refer to the action of unwinding or unrolling, such as a carpet vierivä from a roll. The word is common in everyday Finnish conversation and literature, often evoking images of movement and transition. It can also be used to describe a gradual descent or decline, much like something that rolls downhill.
