törölje

Törölje is a Finnish word that translates to "delete" or "erase" in English. It is commonly used in computing and digital contexts, referring to the action of removing data, files, or entries from a system. For example, a user might törölje an email, törölje a photo from their phone, or törölje a record from a database.

The verb form "törölje" is the third-person singular imperative or present indicative form of the verb "törjätä." This means it can be used to give a command ("Törölje se!") or to state an action happening ("Hän törölje tiedoston"). In everyday language, it signifies the complete removal of something, often with the implication that it cannot be easily recovered.

Beyond digital contexts, "törölje" can also be used metaphorically. One might speak of törölje past mistakes or törölje a bad memory. In these cases, it implies a desire or an attempt to remove something from one's thoughts or experiences, even if it's not physically possible. The core meaning, however, remains the removal or obliteration of something.
