Välttyimme

Välttyimme is a Finnish word that translates to "we avoided" or "we escaped" in English. It is the past tense of the verb "välttyä," which means to avoid, escape, or get rid of something. The word is used to describe a situation where a negative outcome or an undesirable event was successfully averted.

For example, one might say "Välttyimme suuremmalta onnettomuudelta" which translates to "We avoided a greater accident." This implies that a dangerous situation was present, but through some action or circumstance, a worse result was prevented. The term can be used in various contexts, from personal experiences to broader societal events. It carries a sense of relief or good fortune that an unfavorable situation did not materialize.

The grammatical form "välttyimme" specifically indicates that the subject of the sentence is "we." If the subject were different, the verb conjugation would change accordingly. For instance, "hän välttyi" would mean "he/she avoided." Understanding the context in which "välttyimme" is used is crucial for interpreting the specific nature of what was avoided.
