iäisille

iäisille is a Finnish word that generally translates to "for the ice" or "on the ice." Its usage is context-dependent and can refer to a variety of activities, objects, or purposes related to frozen water surfaces.

In common parlance, iäisille often describes activities undertaken on ice, such as ice skating (luistelu iäisille), ice fishing (kalastus iäisille), or playing ice hockey (jääkiekko iäisille). It can also refer to preparations for these activities, like putting on ice skates or getting fishing gear ready for use on the ice. The phrase "mennä iäisille" means to go out onto the ice.

The word can also be used more broadly to describe things intended for use on ice. For example, a specific type of footwear designed for grip on slippery surfaces might be referred to as "iäisille tarkoitetut jalkineet" (footwear intended for the ice). Similarly, certain vehicles or equipment built for traversing icy terrain could be described in relation to iäisille. The specific meaning is always clarified by the surrounding words and the situation in which it is used.
