siistä

Siisti is a Finnish word that has multiple meanings depending on the context. Its primary and most common translation into English is "clean" or "tidy." This can refer to physical cleanliness, such as a clean room or a tidy desk. It can also describe a neat and orderly appearance, for example, someone being dressed "siisti."

Beyond physical cleanliness, siisti can also denote something as "cool," "great," or "nice." This idiomatic usage is more informal and often used to express approval or admiration for something. For instance, a well-done job or an impressive skill might be described as siisti.

In some contexts, siisti can also imply something is "proper" or "decent," suggesting adherence to norms or standards. It can also be used to mean "neat" in the sense of being well-executed or skillfully done. The specific meaning is usually discernible from the surrounding words and the overall situation in which the word is used.
