eimäiskäisellä

eimäiskäisellä is a Finnish word that translates to "without a spoon" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of eating or drinking, particularly when referring to consuming liquids or semi-liquids. For example, one might say they are eating soup eimäiskäisellä if they are drinking it directly from the bowl or using a piece of bread to scoop it up instead of a spoon.

The phrase can also be used more broadly to describe a situation where something is done in a less conventional or less convenient way, often implying improvisation or a lack of proper tools. For instance, if someone is trying to fix something without the right tools, they might be described as working eimäiskäisellä. The term carries a slight connotation of resourcefulness or perhaps a touch of exasperation depending on the context. It is an idiomatic expression rather than a literal description of an object or a place.
