Vähensin

Vähensin is a Finnish word that translates to "I reduced" or "I decreased" in English. It is the first-person singular past tense of the verb "vähentää," which means to reduce, decrease, lessen, or diminish. The word is used in various contexts to describe an action of making something smaller in quantity, amount, intensity, or scope. For example, one might say "Vähensin ruoan suolaa" which means "I reduced the salt in the food." It can also refer to reducing workload, expenses, or even a physical object's size. The nuance of the word often depends on the surrounding sentence and the specific subject being reduced. In a more abstract sense, "vähensin" can also imply a mitigation or alleviation of a problem or a negative situation. The past tense form clearly indicates that the action of reduction has already taken place.
