kyllästetymmäksi

Kyllästetymmäksi is a Finnish word that describes a state of being utterly saturated or completely filled to capacity, often to the point of no longer being able to absorb anything further. It is the translative case of the word kyllästynyt, meaning "saturated" or "fed up." The suffix "-mäksi" indicates a motion or transformation into a state.

This term can be applied in various contexts. In a literal sense, it might refer to a sponge that has absorbed so much water that it cannot hold any more, or a container that is completely full to the brim. Figuratively, kyllästetymmäksi can describe a person who is overwhelmed by information, emotions, or experiences, to the point where they cannot process or accept any more. For example, someone who has heard a particular piece of news repeatedly might feel that their mind has become kyllästetymmäksi to it.

The word emphasizes the completeness of saturation. It's not just being full, but being so full that further intake is impossible or undesirable. It carries a sense of finality in that particular state of being filled. The concept is closely related to being "overwhelmed" or "saturated" in English, but the Finnish word specifically points to the state of having reached the absolute limit of absorption or capacity.
