Läheisnii is a Finnish word that translates to "close people" or "loved ones." It refers to individuals who are important and dear to someone, often including family members, romantic partners, and close friends. The term encompasses a broad range of relationships characterized by emotional closeness, trust, and support.

The concept of läheisnii is central to Finnish social structures and personal well-being. Strong bonds with läheisnii provide a sense of security, belonging, and emotional resilience. These relationships are typically nurtured through shared experiences, open communication, and mutual care. In Finnish culture, the well-being and happiness of one's läheisnii are often considered a high priority.

The specific individuals who fall under the umbrella of läheisnii can vary from person to person. While immediate family such as parents, siblings, and children are almost always included, the definition can extend to include spouses, partners, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and very close friends who function as chosen family. The depth of the relationship, rather than a strict familial or social definition, is what determines who is considered läheisnii. These relationships are a fundamental source of support throughout an individual's life.
