jäähtyttää

Jäähtyttää is a Finnish verb that translates to "to cool down" or "to chill" in English. It describes the process of reducing the temperature of something. This can apply to a variety of contexts, from cooling food or drinks to allowing a hot object to return to a more comfortable temperature. The verb is commonly used in everyday language.

For example, one might say "Anna teen jäähtyä" which means "Let the tea cool down." Similarly, if an engine has been running and is hot, a mechanic might say "Annamme moottorin jäähtyä" meaning "We will let the engine cool down." The concept extends beyond physical objects to abstract situations as well. In a figurative sense, "jäähtyttää" can also mean to calm down or pacify an emotional situation, though this usage is less literal. The process of cooling is fundamental in many scientific and industrial applications, and "jäähtyttää" is the verb used to describe this action in Finnish.
