pyyhkäisyillä

Pyyhkäisyillä is a Finnish term that translates to "sweeps" or "sweeping actions" in English. It broadly refers to movements or actions that involve covering a large area or a significant portion of something in a single, broad stroke. The term is often used in everyday language and can also appear in more specific contexts.

In a domestic setting, pyyhkäisyillä might describe the act of sweeping a floor with a broom, where the broom is moved back and forth across the entire surface. Similarly, it can refer to wiping down a large surface, such as a kitchen counter or a table, with a cloth or sponge. The emphasis is on the comprehensive nature of the action, covering a wide expanse rather than a small, localized area.

Beyond household chores, the concept of pyyhkäisyillä can be applied metaphorically. For instance, a broad historical overview might be described as a pyyhkäisy of events, implying a quick and general survey rather than an in-depth analysis of each individual detail. In some technical fields, a "sweeping change" or "sweeping reform" could be seen as a translation of the idea of pyyhkäisyillä, indicating a significant and widespread alteration. The term's versatility allows it to describe both physical movements and abstract concepts of comprehensive coverage.
