Tärähdys is a Finnish word that translates to "jolt," "jerk," "shake," or "rattle" in English. It refers to a sudden, brief, and often forceful movement or vibration. The term can be used in various contexts, both literal and figurative.

In a physical sense, tärähdys can describe the sensation of a vehicle hitting a bump or pothole, causing a sudden shaking. It can also describe the sound or feeling of something loose rattling, like a door or a piece of machinery. A sudden impact or collision can also be described as a tärähdys.
