jyrkkeneviä

Jyrkkeneviä is a Finnish word that translates to "steepening" or "becoming steeper." It is typically used in a descriptive context to denote an increase in the gradient or slope of something. This could refer to a physical incline, such as a road, a hill, or a ski slope, where the angle of ascent or descent becomes more pronounced. The term can also be applied metaphorically to situations that are intensifying or becoming more difficult to navigate, such as a political situation or a financial challenge. The root of the word is "jyrkkä," meaning steep. When the suffix "-neviä" is added, it indicates a process or a change, implying a transition towards a steeper state. Therefore, "jyrkkeneviä" describes the act or process of something gradually or suddenly becoming steeper.
