ohimenevästä

ohimenevä is a Finnish word that translates to transient, temporary, or fleeting in English. It is commonly used to describe a condition, symptom, or phenomenon that is not permanent and is expected to pass. For instance, an ohimenevä sairaus would be a temporary illness, and an ohimenevä huimaus would be a transient dizziness. The term implies a lack of long-term consequence and suggests that the affected state will resolve on its own or with minimal intervention.

The concept of ohimenevä is often used in medical contexts to differentiate from chronic or persistent conditions. A doctor might describe a patient's symptom as ohimenevä to reassure them that it is not a serious, ongoing issue. In everyday language, it can also refer to a brief emotional state, a passing thought, or a temporary change in circumstances. The core idea is ephemerality and the expectation of a return to a baseline state. The opposite of ohimenevä would be pysyvä, meaning permanent.
