puhutaalempaa

Puhutaalempaa is a Finnish word that translates to "speak more" or "talk more." It is a common phrase used in everyday conversation to encourage someone to elaborate on a topic or share their thoughts and opinions. The word is a compound of "puhua," meaning "to speak," and "alempaa," which is a comparative form of "alas" (down), implying a continuation or deepening of speech. It can be used in a variety of contexts, from casual discussions among friends to more formal settings where a deeper understanding is sought. For instance, if someone has briefly touched upon an interesting subject, another person might say "puhutaalempaa" to invite them to expand on it. It conveys a genuine interest in what the speaker has to say and a desire to hear more details or perspectives. The phrase is idiomatic and its usage is natural within the Finnish language.
