revähdyksissä

Revähdyksissä is a Finnish term that translates to "in tatters" or "in shreds." It is commonly used to describe a state of extreme disrepair or deterioration. This can apply to physical objects, such as clothing or a building, that have been torn apart or severely damaged. For example, old curtains left out in the sun for too long might be described as "revähdyksissä." Similarly, a book whose pages are falling out and cover is torn could also be in "revähdyksissä."

The phrase can also be used metaphorically to describe abstract concepts or situations that have fallen apart. A relationship that has ended badly might be described as being "revähdyksissä," implying it is completely broken. Similarly, a plan that has failed spectacularly or a person's mental state after a traumatic event could be characterized as being "revähdyksissä," signifying a complete breakdown or loss of coherence. The term conveys a strong sense of devastation and the irreparable nature of the damage. It is a vivid expression that emphasizes the extent of the destruction or breakdown.
