repeäsi

repeäsi is a Finnish word that functions as the past tense, third-person singular form of the verb "repäistä". The verb "repäistä" generally means to tear, rip, or burst. Therefore, "repeäsi" translates to "it tore," "it ripped," or "it burst" in English. This grammatical form is used when describing an action that happened in the past and was performed by a singular, non-human subject, or by a person referred to in a third-person singular context.
