lämpimälämpimät

Lämpimälämpimät is a Finnish word that describes a state of being extremely warm or uncomfortably hot. It is a compound word formed from "lämmin" meaning warm, and the reduplicated form "lämpimät" which intensifies the meaning. The reduplication serves to emphasize the degree of warmth, suggesting a heat that is beyond a pleasant level.

The term can be used in various contexts. It might describe weather conditions, such as a particularly sweltering summer day where the temperature is significantly higher than usual. It can also refer to the feeling of being overheated, perhaps due to wearing too many layers of clothing or being in a poorly ventilated space. In a more metaphorical sense, lämpimälämpimät could describe a situation that is intensely emotional or fraught with tension, though this usage is less common than its literal interpretation.

When describing a person, lämpimälämpimät would imply they are feeling an excessive amount of heat. For an environment, it suggests an oppressive and uncomfortable warmth. The word carries a nuance of being overly warm, bordering on unpleasantness, rather than simply being pleasant. It is a vivid descriptor that effectively conveys a high degree of heat.
