tyhjillään

Tyhjillään is a Finnish word that translates to "empty" or "vacant" in English. It is most commonly used as an adjective to describe a physical space that is devoid of occupants or contents. For example, one might say a room is tyhjillään if no one is in it, or a building is tyhjillään if it is unoccupied. The word can also be used metaphorically to describe a state of emotional emptiness or a lack of purpose. For instance, a person might feel tyhjillään after a significant loss or disappointment. In some contexts, tyhjillään can imply a sense of loneliness or desolation. The plural form of the adjective is tyhjillään, and it can also be used as an adverb to indicate that something is being done in an empty manner. The origin of the word can be traced back to the Proto-Finnic root *tyhjä, meaning "empty." The suffix -llään indicates a state or condition.
