lyhytahtisena

lyhytahtisena is a Finnish word that translates to "short-lived" or "transient" in English. It is used to describe something that does not last for a long time. This can apply to a variety of situations, such as a brief period of happiness, a fleeting moment, or a temporary condition.

The word is formed by combining the Finnish word "lyhyt," meaning "short," with the suffix "-ahtisena," which indicates a state or quality of being. Therefore, "lyhytahtisena" literally means "in a short state."

Examples of its usage might include describing a "lyhytahtisena" summer, implying that the warm weather did not last long, or a "lyhytahtisena" friendship, suggesting a relationship that ended quickly. It can also be used metaphorically to describe abstract concepts, such as "lyhytahtisena" fame or "lyhytahtisena" success. The nuance of the word emphasizes the brevity of the experience or phenomenon.
