sirottele

sirottele is a Finnish verb that translates to "to sip" or "to swig" in English. It typically refers to the act of drinking something slowly and deliberately, often with enjoyment. The word can be used in various contexts, from describing the gentle consumption of a beverage to a more forceful or greedy drinking action.

The verb is often used with prepositions like "pois" (away) or "alas" (down), further specifying the manner of drinking. For example, "sirotella pois" might imply sipping something away until it's gone, while "sirotella alas" would suggest drinking something down, perhaps quickly. The nuance of "sirottele" can also depend on the context and the type of liquid being consumed. It's a common word in everyday Finnish conversation and literature.
