The word is a compound of "fiilis," meaning "feeling" or "vibe," and the possessive suffix "-nsä," indicating "their."

The usage of fiilistensä often implies a subjective interpretation. When someone refers to the fiilistensä of a party, they might be commenting on whether it's lively and fun, or perhaps subdued and awkward.

The term is common in informal Finnish conversation and social media. It allows for a quick and nuanced way to convey an impression without needing to delve into specific details.

It highlights the importance of emotional atmosphere in social interactions and group dynamics.
