kihelmöivältä

Kihelmöivältä is a Finnish word that describes a sensation of tingling, prickling, or mild itching. It can be used to describe a physical sensation on the skin, such as when a limb falls asleep, or when a mild irritant is present. The word can also be used metaphorically to describe a feeling of excitement or anticipation, such as the feeling one gets before a thrilling event. The etymology of the word is related to the Finnish verb "kihelmöidä," which means to tingle or prickle. The "-ltä" ending indicates the ablative case, suggesting a sensation originating from something. Therefore, "kihelmöivältä" literally translates to "from something tingling." This sensation can range in intensity and is generally not considered painful, but rather a distinct tactile experience.
