kaikkitai

kaikkitai is a Finnish word that translates to "want to do" or "want to have" in English. It is a compound word formed from "kaikki," meaning "all" or "everything," and "tai," which is a verb form expressing desire or will.

The expression kaikkitai can be used in a variety of contexts to convey a broad spectrum of desires. It might refer to a general longing for something, an ambition, or a wish. For instance, someone might say "haluan kaikkitai," meaning "I want everything," to express a feeling of wanting to experience or possess all that life has to offer. It can also be used more specifically, for example, in a situation where someone wants to be involved in every aspect of a project or event.

While the literal translation suggests a desire for "everything," the nuance of kaikkitai often implies a desire for completeness, totality, or a comprehensive experience rather than a literal acquisition of every single item. The specific meaning can be further clarified by the context in which it is used. It is a versatile phrase in Finnish that captures a strong sense of wanting something in its entirety.
