läpäiskö

läpäiskö is a Finnish word that describes a state of being thoroughly soaked or drenched, typically by water. It implies a level of saturation that goes beyond just being damp. The word is often used in contexts related to rain, swimming, or being caught in a downpour.

The word can be used as an adjective or a past participle. For example, "Olin läpäiskö sateessa" translates to "I was soaked in the rain." Similarly, "vaatteet olivat läpäiskö" means "the clothes were drenched."

While primarily associated with water, the term can occasionally be used metaphorically to describe being overwhelmed or saturated with something else, though this is less common. The intensity conveyed by läpäiskö suggests a complete immersion or saturation, leaving no dry part. It is a descriptive term that vividly paints a picture of being completely wet.
